Answer 3

I mean when I press tab in a textarea it jumps to next element right? But I don't want that. I want to just have a tab input into the textarea that is multiple spaces

Answer 4

// modern style
TEXT_ENTRY_ELEMENT.addEventListener('keydown', FUNCTION_HERE);
// old style
TEXT_ENTRY_ELEMENT.onkeydown = FUNCTION_HERE;

The old style varies for what is sent to its function (blame Microsoft for its IE issues), but the modern style is always sent the same (as long as you can use it).
