Initial URL 

                                

                                                            

                                    

                                        

                                        Initial Description
                                        

                                    

                                    
The following script will allow only keys that effect actual text changes in input/textareas (character keys, spacebar, backspace and delete). Any other key type will tell whatever function is handling the event to return and not continue on. As a result, this should be place before the actual processing portion of the function.

                                

                                                            

                                    

                                        

                                        Initial Title
