Trouble with onkeypress and enter

#1

Hello:

I'm having a problem with a simple javascript code that checks if the
enter key had been pressed or not. The code works propertly in mozilla,
but in iexplorer it only works one time, the second one the event isn't
throw any more, and I can't catch it.

Anyone can help me?

this is the sample code

function searchIntro(oEvent)
{
if (oEvento.keyCode)
iAscii = oEvent.keyCode;
else if (oEvent.which)
iAscii = oEvent.which;
else
return false;
if (iAscii == 13)
{
sendData();
}
}

<input type="text" id ="textBoxName1" name="CCO" size="69"
onkeypress="SearchIntro(event)"></tr>

Thanks a lot

Hello.

"SearchIntro" is different from "searchIntro."
"oEvento" is not the same as "oEvent."

Decide on the name of the function and the variable and use the same names
consistently. Also, the event object does not need to be passed to the
function, as it is a global variable.

Try this:

function searchIntro()
{
iAscii = event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : event.which

if(iAscii == null)
return false

if (iAscii == 13)
sendData()
}

Thanks Wayne

The code is well writted, the copy/paste to this window and a small
translate has done the rest. The code is case sensitive and the names
are correctly referenced. But still the trouble is there : it only
works for the first time, in internet explorer. If I don't change the
focus to other control, the events don't occurs at this textbox anymore
(only the first name). And it only occurs after deleting letters with
the backspace key.

Any ideas?

You're right. My bad. I should have checked, but felt lazy. Pass the the
event object and it will work. It works in NN8.

It works as long as the input box has focus. This is how it is supposed to
work. If you want the event to trigger as long as the window has focus, you
could instead try altering the "BODY" tag, thus:

<BODY onkeypress="searchIntro(event)">
