I'm looking for a solution to a web-form issue I'm facing at the moment. I'd like to be able to use the keyboard to save web-forms - essentially a button press - but I want to keep the desktop convention of Control+S to save the form.

How can I handle a button press that won't cause the browser to try to save the web-page locally?

with jQuery you basically can suppress the default action of an event by firing an 

event.preventDefault();

http://api.jquery.com/event.preventdefault/

But the main problem here is that browsers act different. The task has been discussed in another thread already:
