Try html code to reproduce. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <title>Key Event Handling</title> </head> <body> <p>Press some keys and then then TAB-Key and then other keys again.<br> Try with other browsers to see difference<br> It does seem that the TAB gets not consumed by the function.<br> <input type="text" class="inputType" id="bc" value="" /> </p> <script type="text/javascript"> document.getElementById("bc").onkeydown=key_check; /* try with onkeypress too !!*/ function key_check(evt) { if (!evt) { evt=window.event; } alert(evt.keyCode); if (evt && ( evt.keyCode==13 || evt.keyCode==9) ) { return false; } } </script> </html> Actual Results: Lost focus in html window Expected Results: Focus stays in input field I tried with chrome and IE. Both browsers behave just the other way round with tab-key and onkeypress/onkeydown.
