I have come across a problem with the onKeyDown event in some of my forms.
I'm using onKeyDown in <form> as a standard method to open my help screen
system throughout my system, but I have discovered that If I have a
<div></div> section somewhere and then load the contents of it from another
file using innerHTML after the main window is loaded, the onKeyDown event
doesn't trigger any more.
I'm using IE6 and the structure is:
<body onLoad=getDiv() >
<form onKeyDown=getHe lp();>
<div id=pagebody></div>
</form>
</body>
where the getDiv function sets pagebody.innerH TML to something (which works
just fine). In pages where I don't use the <div>'s the getHelp() function
starts fine.
Any idea how I can work around this problem?
Thanks!

You should always enclose attribute values in quotes. It is not
mandatory in HTML if the attribute value contains *only* letters (a-z
and A-Z), digits (0-9), hyphens (ASCII decimal 45), periods (ASCII
decimal 46), underscores (ASCII decimal 95), and colons (ASCII
decimal 58).
However, the W3C recommends using quotation marks even when it is
possible to eliminate them. The script attributes in the code above
contains semi-colons and brackets that should always be in quotes.

Even without quoted attribute values, I could not replicate your
issue in IE 6, so perhaps your problems are elsewhere.
Here is my test script (sans quotes):
<script type="text/javascript">
function getDiv(){
document.getEle mentById('pageb ody').innerHTML ='blah blah blah';
}
function getHelp(){
var now = new Date();
document.getEle mentById('blah' ).innerHTML = now;
}
window.onload = getDiv;
</script>
<form onKeyDown=getHe lp(); action=>
<input type=text>
<div id=pagebody></div>
</form>
<span id=blah></span>

Agreed!
You example works here as well, so it must be something else.
Can't see what though. when I had it all in one file it was ok, but when I
moved out that section and placed it in a <div> it doesn't work any more.
I'll have to look into it a bit further. Btw, I'm using the active-x
Msxml2.XMLHTTP to send the other file back into innerHTML using it's
responseText property. Wonder if that could have to do with it...
Thanks! iv**@tda.no

I have a .NET 1.1 application which uses several grids of text boxs (in

The actual javascript function is quite long and really irrelevant since the
