Arrow keys and onkeypress

Hi,

Does anybody know why doesn't onkeypress catch up/down arrow keys
while it catches left/right arrows? My only supposition is that up/
down keys are used for moving between form elements, anyway does
anybody know any solution to this problem?

Thanks,
Pazabo

The why is impossible to answr since, in IE7 at least,
not one of the arrow keys returns anything:

Try IE:

<body onkeypress='thi s.innerHTML=eve nt.keyCode'>
</body>

My only supposition is that up/
down keys are used for moving between form elements, anyway does
anybody know any solution to this problem?

Why does the following code give the alert in IE when most keys are pressed, but not when the arrow keys are pressed? Both types of keys trigger it in Netscape, but IE won't acknowledge arrow keypresses. Please post reply here, I really appreciate the help. <SCRIPT> function keyboardEventHandler()

Hi there, I have an application in which a grid of 100 or more buttons are put on a form in columns of 10. All the buttons are within a panel. They are added in runtime, and so they adopt a sensible tab value. The tab key moves the focus down the column one by one, and the up and down arrow keys work well.

Hi, I have a user control that needs to trap the arrow keys to move items around internally. However, using the arrow keys will move the focus to another control on the form hosting the user control. How do I stop this? Vincent.

I'm dynamically building a list of divs that a user can click and sets off an action. I was hoping to build into it a way to use the up and down arrow keys to navigate the list and the enter key to select the one that is focused - any idea how I could achieve this? it's basically this: <div style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" onClick="return callAction('1')">item 1</div> <div style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" onClick="return

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
