how to prevent default keypress event

Hi

I've got a problem. For example I have 3 inputs on the page. How can I prevent (turn off) navigation by 'tab' key between these inputs? I've tried many things:
1. e.preventDefault();
2. e.stopPropagation();
3. return true;

and even such construction:

document.onkeypress = function(){
var e = window.event;
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
}

but nothing of it turns off tab navigation. How can I solve it?
Thanks for advance.

No Solutions? I have the same problem and I'm very interested to know how to solve it

Well not sure why you'd want to take away the browser's basic functionality? Don't you want users to be able to jump into an input field?

Anyway... the only way I know to get an input out of the tab cycle is to change the <input> tag to disabled like this:
<input type="text" disabled>

If your inputs are styled with css then they will look the same even though one is disabled.
Like this:
<input tabindex="1" type="text" style="background-color:#fff;">
<input tabindex="2" type="text" style="background-color:#fff;">
<input tabindex="3" type="text" disabled style="background-color:#fff;">
