How can I interrupt the enter key so it won't trigger unwanted events on my
web page? I have tried this:
var defaultEventHan dler = obj.getEvent("o nkeydown");
var myEventHandler = function(event) {
if(event.keyCod e==13){
alert(obj.getPr operty("selecti on/index"));
}
else{
defaultEventHan dler.call(this, event);
}
}
obj.setEvent("o nkeydown", myEventHandler) ;
But it won't even enter the function. Thanks! 3 6927

Redesign your webpage so that the enter key does not trigger unwanted
events.
What are you really trying to do?

If I understand correctly you want to set a keypress event handler on
the document and see if the enter key is pressed and in that case
prevent any other events that it may trigger.
This is possible in the DOM2 Event Model, because you can catch events
in the 'capture phase'. However Internet Explorer only supports the
'bubbling phase'.
So to my knowledge what you want is unfortunately not possible.

Hi all,
I have a more or less complex form with a few buttons and a few input

One of my my input field ( a TextBox) I have an event handler for the

What I want is that when I will hit enter in my input field, I expect to
form to be posted back to the server and the event handler for the
TextChanged event to be called.
If i tabulate from my text field, everythign is working fine. Nevertheless

Hi,
I am trying to trace down the Enter key in my Form.KeyPress event handler.
The KeyPreview property is set to false, so I'd assume that all key presses
should go through my form's KeyPress event handler, right? Ok. If the focus
is set to any other control than a button, then the above event handler
fires, but if the focus is on a button, then I've no way to know that the
Enter key has been pressed or not, because in that case pressing...

Hi Everyone,
I have a few form classes that inherit from the same base class. The main
reason that this is done is that some event handlers are common between
these classes and I was trying to save time and not have to put a event
handler in every form class.
The base class has an event handler for Edit.Enter and Edit.Leave so that it
can turn the Edit menu items on and off.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
