Not sure this is ASP.NET but you look at handling the keydown and keypress
events. However not all key combinations can be cancelled and it's generally
poor UI practice to try to override standard combinations such as Ctrl+A
which the user might expect to select all text in a textarea, for example.

HI

I have tried this code but didn't work...
<script type="text/javascript">
document.onkeydown = function somefunction(e)
{
e = window.event;
//17 is keycode for "A"
if(e.ctrlKey == true && e.keyCode == parseInt("17") )
{
e.cancelBubble = true;
return false;
}
}
</script>

it detect the keys but the browsers still select the texts

Best of luck
