No (and it even makes sense if you think about it - I didn't
follow  
this one from the beginning, what are you trying to
achieve?

Trying to prevent the backspace key from causing the browser
to go back 
a page when editing, as this can cause a large number of
problems. My 
original code looked like this:

<script type="text/javascript" 
src="/modules/editors/javascript/disablebackspace.js&qu
ot;>&#160;</script>
<page:body onkeydown="return
checkBackspace(event)" onkeypress="return 
checkBackspace(event)" >

The goal is to move the code out of the body element so just
including 
the script would do all of the work. So I need a way of
registering 
those events/properties. But from what you're saying, that
can't be 
done. Unless I put the events on the window I guess.
