if ((key > 57 || key < 48) && key != 46) 
{
  if(window.event)
  {          
    window.event.returnValue=false;       // IE
  }          
  else
  {
   ???????           

  }
}

Above code works for IE but it is not working for Firefox, Chrome and Safari. The return false is not working. Please guide me what I can write to return false in ???? area.

    It'd be nice to see a bigger context, but I assume `return false` doesn't work? – JJJ Jul 17 '12 at 07:15

    @troolee that question is mostly about jQuery handlers, which act differently. If the OP was using jQuery he wouldn't be having these problems. – Alnitak Jul 17 '12 at 07:19

What you do with the other browsers (and with IE9 in standards mode) is event.preventDefault() — probably. It depends a bit on how you're hooking up that event handler. But basically, IE's returnValue = false maps to preventDefault and IE's cancelBubble = true maps to stopPropagation.
