When the modal is showing, how can I disable key events like TAB? I have multiple buttons and fields in a form on the page that can be selected (focused) by tabbing. I want to disable that when the modal is showing. The application uses Angular and the modal is in a child component.
<button tabindex="0">Button1</button>
<button tabindex="0">Button2</button>
<form>...</form>
<div id="myModal" class="modal fade" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">...</div>
</div>
</div>
I'd suggest something like this - use Renderer2 and listen for a keydown event and filter events by keyCode. Then on modal hide remove that listener.
onShow() {
this.removeTabKeyListener = this.renderer.listen('document', 'keydown', (event) => {
if (event.keyCode === 9) {
event.preventDefault();
}
});
}
onHide() {
this.removeTabKeyListener();
}
A little example - http://plnkr.co/edit/LdpmCpgapPbrA26fGO9U?p=preview
You can add your own event listener:
// Your event listener
function preventTab(e) {
e = e || window.event;
if (e.keyCode === 9) { // If tab key is pressed
e.preventDefault() // Stop event from its action
}
}
// Call this when modal window opens
document.addEventListener(preventTab);
// Call this when modal window closes/unmounts
document.removeEventListener(preventTab);
You can disable tab by preventDafault the keyCode 9 (tab) on keydow:
$(document).keydown(function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 9) {
e.preventDefault();
}
});
Of course you'll want that on your modal opener and not as is, so it won't permanently disable tabs ;)
Try this code it will just disable your tab key when modal is showing.
$(document).keydown(function(e){
if (e.which==9) // keycode for tab key
{
checkmodal = $('#myModal').is(':visible'); //check modal is opened or not
if (checkmodal){
e.preventDefault();
}
}
});
