Calling java script from HTMLInputText component of java server faces

Question

Iam attempting to do some thing like this
HtmlInputText component = new com.ntrs.wcm.ui.components.inputtext.HtmlInputText();
     component.setId(componentId);
     component.setValueBinding("value",
               FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createValueBinding(backingBeanEL));
     component.setSize(length);
     component.setMaxlength(length);
now on the component iam calling the followng jav ascript function
component .setOnkeydown("DisableCtrlKey(event)");
The java script
iam calling is
function disableCtrlKey(e)
//list all CTRL + key combinations you want to disable
var forbiddenKeys = new Array(‘a’, ‘n’, ‘c’, ‘x’, ‘v’, ‘j’);
var key;
var isCtrl;
if(window.event)
key = window.event.keyCode; //IE
if(window.event.ctrlKey)
isCtrl = true;
else
isCtrl = false;
else
key = e.which; //firefox
if(e.ctrlKey)
isCtrl = true;
else
isCtrl = false;
//if ctrl is pressed check if other key is in forbidenKeys array
if(isCtrl)
for(i=0; i<forbiddenkeys .length; i++)
//case-insensitive comparation
if(forbiddenKeys.toLowerCase() == String.fromCharCode(key).toLowerCase())
alert(‘Key combination CTRL + ‘
+String.fromCharCode(key)
+‘ has been disabled.’);
return false;
return true;
I have this function in the correct js page of my application but the script doesnt get executed and still iam able to do ctrl+v on the text box can anyone suggest waht i might be doing wron

You can try this..
Instead of using button
Edit the Item to which you want to associate a button.
Go to Element tab
Under Post Element Text enter
</ br> <a href="#" -onclick=call_me() class="t20Button">Click me</a>Note : you need to change class="t20Button", i'm using theme 20 and in that the look and feel of button is derive from t20Button.
remove the hyphen before onclick ..
