Hi!
Does anybody of you have a good algorithm to capture when a value in a
textbox is changed? I'm using the keypress/keydown events but they seems to
be a bit inconsistent (IE and Mozilla). Basically what I want is to set is a
"isDirty" flag when a user has changed any value in the textbox (or in a
dropdown) and then if he/she tries to leave the record without saving I want
to give a save warning. Since I don't want set the isdirty flag if you for
example klick tab, certain F-buttons, arrows (up/down/left/right) etc I
tried to capture the keypress/keydown event and ignore specific keycodes.
Since there are several keycodes that should be ignored I was hoping there
is a better solution.
Must support IE6 and NN7+ (mozilla). Since the site is unicode compatible
the user may add chinese characters for example.

Umm, the change event, perhaps?

Replace ".invalid" with ".uk" to reply by e-mail.
use the onChange() event mate, trying to grab key press's is a bit of a
nightmare as key's like "del", "backspace" behave differently!

Most form elements have a defaultValue property (what the value would be
changed to if the form was reset).

Note that the defaultValue property doesn't work properly for hidden input
elements in Mozilla based browsers.

Thanks I tested the onchange event but it did not fire but I now realize
that it fires when the control loses the focus and not for every keystroke.
Thanks

Hi again. The onchange event does not seem to work if I inside a textbox for
example capture F12 which is setting the value in the textbox to some value.
When I tab to the next field the onchange event do not fire (i can of course
set the isdirty flag in the code that is capturing the return key). If I
type a value in the first textbox and then tab to the second the onchange
event fire. Is it something strange with my code of capturing the F12 button
or is the onchange not triggered if the value is changed by javascript code?
<html>
<body>
<script language="javas cript" type="text/javascript">
function captureF12(evt)
{
var keyCode = evt.keyCode ? evt.keyCode : evt.charCode ? evt.charCode :
evt.which;
if (keyCode==123)
document.getEle mentById('a').v alue='Test';
return true;
}
</script>
<form>
<input type="text" id="a" onchange="alert ('onchange has fired');"
onkeydown="capt ureF12(event);" >
<input type="text" id="b">
</form>
</body>
</html>

That's because F12 doesn't change the value.
On my browser (Opera), F12 brings up the Quick Preferences menu. I don't
think it does anything in IE or Mozilla.
Why do you think F12 is significant? None of the function keys should be.

The language attribute is deprecated and redundant. Don't use it. Just

No I understand that it does not change the value but in my case I capture
the event and change the value by javascript. But obviously the onchange
event is not triggered.

Yes that is why we use F12 to insert the username/timestamp in a field (from
the windows version of the application users are used to use F5 but that is
not a good key to use since it is used by many browsers to reload the page).
Why do you think F12 is significant? None of the function keys should be.

Yes I know. We supported NN4.7x before this release so I had to stick with
the old language attribute.
Once again thanks for your help.

I have an UserControl with a Textbox on it. TextBox captures keys (I assume
via overridden ProcessCmdKey method) and doesn't pass them onto parent (by
not calling base.ProcessCmdKey) therefore KeyDown is not trigered in parent
UserControl. I wan't to catch enter key in UserControl but I can't do that.
Is there any way to capture it before it reaches TextBox WITHOUT modifying
TextBox code?

Hello,
I need to build a very simple text editor. The requirement is that
the input screen should be divided into 'm*n' cells ('m' rows, 'n'
columns, with each cell of a fixed size). Whenever the user wants to
input text, he will click on one of these cells, and then enter the
text. The text should then be visible inside the cell.
From my very limited knowledge of VB, I plan to use the 'group box'
construct to denote one cell. Now,...

I've tried to replicate the functionality of a textbox, but I think it
