Ryan Mann Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Input.onkeydown = function(){ if(window.event) { var Key = window.event.keyCode; }; if(event.which) { var Key = event.which; }; if(Key == 13) { alert('enter'); };}; The problem lies with the event.which bit. "event is not defined". I know how to do it regularly, but I am trying to do it unobtrusively. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsonesuk Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I think you trying to achieve something like this:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title>Untitled Document</title></head><body><script type="text/javascript">function keypressed(e){e = e? e : window.event;var Key = e.keyCode? e.keyCode : e.which? e.which : null;if (Key == 13){alert("Enter button Pressed - Press the damn 'Submit Now' button Fool!")if(e.preventDefault)e.preventDefault(); //Prevent form being submittinge.returnValue=false; //Prevent form being submittinge.cancel = true; //Prevent form being submitting};};</script><form><input type="text" onkeypress="keypressed(event)" /><input type="submit" value=" Submit Now" /></form></body></html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Mann Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Yes, but unobtrusive. My code works fine in IE, it's just capturing the event in Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Yes, but unobtrusive. My code works fine in IE, it's just capturing the event in Firefox."window.event" is exclusive to Internet Explorer, and is not standard either. The correct way is to capture the event object as the parameter of the function that is called with the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsonesuk Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 or maybe:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><title>Untitled Document</title><script type="text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*//*---->*/window.onload = function() { //Wait for the page to load. var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input'); for(var i=0;i<inputs.length;i++) { if(inputs.getAttribute('type')!="submit") { if(window.event) { inputs.onkeypress = function() { keypressed(event)}; } else { inputs.setAttribute('onkeypress', 'keypressed(event)'); } } } }function keypressed(e){ e = e? e : window.event;var Key = e.keyCode? e.keyCode : e.which? e.which : null;if (Key == 13){alert("Enter button Pressed - Press the damn 'Submit Now' button Fool!")if(e.preventDefault)e.preventDefault(); //Prevent form being submitting e.returnValue=false; //Prevent form being submittinge.cancel = true; //Prevent form being submitting};}/*--*//*]]>*/</script> </head><body><form><input type="text" /><input type="text" /><input type="text" /><input type="submit" value=" Submit Now" /></form></body></html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
