Try:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
// if (document.layers) document.captureEvents(Event.KEYPRESS); // needed if you wish to cancel the key
document.onkeypress = keyhandler;
function keyhandler(e) {
if (document.layers)
Key = e.which;
else
Key = window.event.keyCode;
if (Key != 0)
alert("Key pressed! ASCII-value: " + Key);
}
//--></script>In Netscape Navigator if you wish to capture the key press in a form field then you need to add the event handler to that too:
<form name="myForm">
<input type="text" name="myField">
</form>
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
// if (document.layers) document.captureEvents(Event.KEYPRESS); // needed if you wish to cancel the key
document.onkeypress = keyhandler;
document.myForm.myField.onkeypress = keyhandler;
function keyhandler(e) {
if (document.layers)
Key = e.which;
else
Key = window.event.keyCode;
if (Key != 0)
alert("Key pressed! ASCII-value: " + Key);
}
//--></script>
