I'd like to fire a JS function from the Onchange event of a Text edit.
Unfortunately it doesn't fire when I hit any key, but only when leaving the
control. I've tried with OnKeyup, and it works, but it isn't compatible with
NS6.
Please any advice ?
Best regards.

No, onchange doesn't fire unless focus leaves the element.
Try onkeypress, depending on what you're trying to accomplish. Sometimes it's
a fine substitute, sometimes it isn't.

OnKeyPress is the same than OnKeyUp, it doesn't work with NS6
I will add an additional window.
Thanks

It's not quite the same:

it doesn't work with NS6
Since they are both described in the w3.org HTML 4.01 standard, why not
just use it and advise users to get a compliant browser (such as NS7)?

Advise users? If some web-site author
'advised' me to get a decent browser
I'd advise them to get a working site
(assuming imparting that advice was quicker
than the 'back' button, which, since it's
not, leave's the site in the lurch).
Who cares? ( I mean, ..besides the site author. )

All an author can do to help interoperabilit y is to code to the w3.org
standards and add workarounds for broken browsers. In the case of onkey*
there is no workaround - if a browser doesn't support it no workaround
can be written to emulate it.
So all the OP can do now is use this attribute (as specified in the
w3.org standards) and advise users to use a standards-compliant browser.
Since there are no workarounds he is fully justified in doing this.
If even the features of the specifications given by w3.org are taboo
then what hope is there for the progression of the www?

With no code presented to demonstrate that there even is a problem with
Netscape 6, rather than an authoring mistake, it would be premature to
be bothering the user about their choice of browser.

I thought NN6 was fully html 4.01 compliant.
I learn something new daily.
AOL/Netscape prematurely released NN6. It was based on pre-1.0 Mozilla
(iirc it was based on M18, pre-0.6). Inevitably there were bugs,
incompatibiliti es and general brokeness. It should never have happened.
It was only when NN7 was released (based on post-1.0 Mozilla code) that
it became anywhere near the standards-compliant browser that it is today.

onkeypress should work with Netscape 6. I am almost certain I used it
successfully. However, if you are trying to add it programmaticall y:
document.forms['myForm'].elements['myElement'].onkeypress = myHandler;
Then you need the following code in your <form>
<input type="text" name="myElement " value="" onkeypress="">
The empty onkeypress="" is _not_ optional in some early versions of Gecko-based
browsers if you are trying to add an event handler programmaticall y. These
early versions of Gecko-based browsers had a problem where if event handlers
were not registered when the HTML was parsed, your event would be attached
_after_ the standard application-level event handler.
The following code snippet should work just fine in Netscape 6 (I tested it in
Mozilla 1.0 and it generated the correct alert() on each keypress):
<body onload="
document.forms['myForm'].elements['myElement'].onkeypress =
function (e) {
alert('You pressed ' + (e && e.which ? e.which : event.keyCode)) ;
}
">
<form name="myForm">
<input type="text" name="myElement " value="" onkeypress="">
</form>
</body>

Hi All;
I, like others, have been frustrated with designing
forms that look and flow the same in both IE and Firefox.
They simply did not scale the same.
I have discovered, to my chagrin, that IE7 does not seem
to offer any way to control the font size of a text input
