How to capture keyCode in FireFox?

samxx

Hi,

I need to capture Enter key (keyCode==13) in an designMode enabled iframe of my chat sending virtual textbox. it's a wysiwyg posting. However I have the following code working fine in IE7 but not working in FireFox.

Can Anybody please tell me how can I reffer to the keyCode in firefox in this example:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <body onLoad= Starta()>

<script>

function Starta() {

    iF=document.getElementById('rtoIFrame0').contentWindow.document;

    iF.onkeypress = cK;

    return true;

}

function cK(event) {

    if (document.getElementById('rtoIFrame0').contentWindow.event.keyCode){ 

        k = document.getElementById('rtoIFrame0').contentWindow.event.keyCode; // Works on IE

    }

    else if (document.getElementById('rtoIFrame0').contentWindow.e.which){

        k = document.getElementById('rtoIFrame0').contentWindow.e.which; // dos not Work on FireFox
 
    }

    if(k==13){

        alert(k);

        return false;

    }

    return true;

}

</script>

<iframe id=rtoIFrame0></iframe>

You may need charCode instead. The method of obtaining the event is not correct. See this post.

Hi acoder,

That was a nice script. However I tried to make it work in my special code but I didn't succeed. I can't reffer to the object by window.event once the object is located in an iframe.

The following part works on IE:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 if (document.getElementById('rtoIFrame0').contentWind ow.event.keyCode){ 

k = document.getElementById('rtoIFrame0').contentWindo  w.event.keyCode;

}

Please just let me know what exactly should I write instead the following part to make it work on firefox too.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 else if (document.getElementById('rtoIFrame0').contentWind ow.e.which){

k = document.getElementById('rtoIFrame0').contentWindo w.e.which;

Thank You!

A simple

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

k = event.keyCode;

will be enough here.
