Prevent backspace button from navigating back to previous XPage

In my XPages application, I have noticed that whenever I hit the backspace key (without an input field having focus), the application returns to the previous XPage. How can I disable this behavior? I believe this is possible with JQuery and / or Dojo but am unsure how to add the code to an XPage? Also, could preventing this behavior have any impact on performance?

Solution

  • Dojo version to prevent Esc to close xPage tab in client. Guess you can use something similar for your problem as well.

    <xp:eventHandler
        event="onClientLoad"
        submit="false">
        <xp:this.script><![CDATA[dojo.addOnLoad( function(){ 
 dojo.connect( document, 'keydown', function(e){  
         if(e.keyCode === 27){ dojo.stopEvent(e); }        
 });
});]]></xp:this.script>
    </xp:eventHandler>
