Key code pressed in Netscape

[krahb]

Hi all,

Inside an html textbox tag I have an "onKeyPress" event that invokes function "myFunction". Inside "myFunction", I use the "event.keyCode" syntax to read the key code pressed by the user from IE browser. What is the syntax to get the key code pressed from Netscape?

Secondly, I also have an "onChange" event in this textbox. Inside "onChange" event handler I have logic to focus back to the textbox in case of illegal data entry:

document.myform.mytextbox.focus();
return false;

IE works perfect but Netscape tabs to the next control regardless. Anyone has any idea why?

Thanks in Advance

keyCode
Unlike IE, Netscape passes the event through the arguements array of the event handler.

function myKey(e) {
if (event)
{ky = event.keyCode;}
else
{ky = e.which;}
return ky;
}

onChange
It may work once the keypress is fixed. Otherwise post a link to your page.
