Backspace not working

I cannot use the Backspace key when editing in a grid. Is this key a setting in AW? Is this an error in my code?

I don't see this problem in the standard examples, could be the problem with your code?

Do you know where in the code it may have been disabled? I did nothing with keypresses or anything that should effect the way a key works.

No... Editing procedure does not capture and does not process backspace key. There is some code in system/control.js, line 562 which raises onKeyBackspace event but it should not affect the editing. Do you have the same behavior in IE and FF?

I do not use FF so I could not say. I tried commenting out most of my .js and still could not find out why I cannot use backspace.

Alex,
We found the issue with our code, we have a common script which is making sure we only do a backspace on text and textarea, what else can we add to this to allow for ActiveWidgets to be accepted.

if (event.keyCode == 8)
{
if (!("text" == event.srcElement.type)
&& !("textarea" == event.srcElement.type))
{
event.cancelBubble = true;
event.returnValue = false;
}
}
Is there a srcElement.type we can test for, for active widgets

Can anyone answer this?

The edit box is a span with contentEditable attribute set to true. You may check for srcElement.contentEditable == true.

To clarify - the above refers to the editing of the grid cell in IE. In all other cases it is the standard <input type="text"> element.
