case String.fromCharCode(13) ??

[gabrielcik]

Hi,

I am writing a small js app... I need to use Switch and case for to process a string (textarea).

I don't know why but I am unable to make the script recognize the "Enter key":

case String.fromCharCode(13) :
w = w+String.fromCharCode(13);
break;

All other chars work fine es:
case String.fromCharCode(32) :
w = w+String.fromCharCode(32);
break;

Only Enter is not working...

Any idea?
thx

I understand but what's not working?

When i type some text in the textbox, all character are recognized but enter.

ex:

I type in my textbox:
"Hello
world"

i get back "Helloworld" enter is ignored. If i type "Hello world" i get "Hello world" the space is recognized.

I would like my app to work also when i press enter and not to ignore it.

I made a similar app with Flash and it works without problems.

thx

are you sure it's 13? I thought it was, too, but it seems like in a text area it might be 10...

<textarea onkeyup="alert(this.value.charCodeAt(this.value.length-1))"></textarea>

you need to describe the whole scenario, this doesn't help identify the cause. On top of that we will need to know if the behavior is consistent on all browsers.
