Q1345 In Internet Explorer 4 if I click the backspace key, and no element has focus, it behaves as if the history back button was clicked, how do I trap this event and disable it?

Try:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
document.onkeydown = mykeyhandler;
function mykeyhandler() {
if (window.event && window.event.keyCode == 8) {
// try to cancel the backspace
window.event.cancelBubble = true;
window.event.returnValue = false;
return false;
}
}
//--></script>
