1) You need to run that through The Validator.

2) Try setting the handler thusly: newInput.onblur = function () {alert (this.value)}.

weird, i responded to this yesterday but it didnt post. anyway, thx! okay here's another one. assigning an attribute of onkeyup with "event" passed in the function breaks the code. thx for any help!

var newInput = document.createElement("input");
newInput.onkeyup = function () {KeyPress(this,event);};

document.getElementsByTagName("form")[0].appendChild(newInput);
newInput.focus();
}

function KeyPress(inputField,event) {
if(event && (event.keyCode == 13 || event.keyCode == 9)){
alert(event.keyCode);
return false;
}
}
</script>
