Stop keypress event

Question

How to stop keypress event in keydown.

I have a keydown handler in that I need to stop keypress event.

Actually I have a form and textbox in it.

When user press enter key, keydown is triggering the event and having the handler.

Form submit will triggered be in keypress, so I need to stop the keypress event in my keydown handler.

function onKeyDown(event) {   
  event.preventDefault();
}

or

function onsubmit(event) {
  return false;
}

return false to stop events propagation
