JS - How to stop Tab key from blur the input box?

[HazardBoy]

Hello guys,

I have a frustrating problem. I want to stop the caret from changing input focus (jump outside) when I press tab. Instead remain in the input field.

Basically I want to create an auto-complete word when I press tab.

What I've tried something similar to this:

 

<input type="text" onKeyUp="preventTab(e)" onKeyPress="preventTab(e)" onKeyDown="preventTab(e)">
<script>
function preventTab(e){
   e.preventDefault();
   documentQuery(...).focus();
   return false;
}
</script>

 

All keys trigger this function except tab key.

- Please delete the thread. The code worked on KeyDown, no idea why it didn't worked before.
