How to disable JQuery keypress event for just one element?
Alternatively, you could attach another event handler to the input field, and in this handler stop the propagation of the event:
jQuery('#input-field-id').bind('keypress', function(e) { e.stopPropagation(); });This way, you can leave the global event handler as it is. Might be cleaner.
you're looking for event.target.id, which will be the id of the element that the event was raised on. So inside myhandler you would need something like the following
function myhandler(e) { if (e.target.id !== 'id of input') { /* rest of event handler */ }}
See the QuirksMode docs about event order, and especially about how to turn off the events, which is browser-specific. Quote:
For a complete cross-browser experience do
function doSomething(e){ if (!e) var e = window.event; e.cancelBubble = true; if (e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();}
