I am having trouble responding writing a Javascript Program respond
to keypresses on top of a paragraph. Here is the code I tried:
<HTML>
<SCRIPT Language="JavaS cript">
document.write( "TEeve");
function QQ(event){
alert("Key Pressed " + event.charCode( ));
}
</SCRIPT>
<P onkeypress="QQ( event)">Testing </P>
The alert is not displayed when I click on the paragraph and press
ordinary
keys.
By the way the following related Javascript to respond to mouse events
on a
paragraph does work.
<HTML>
<SCRIPT Language="JavaS cript">
document.write( "Tex");
function QQ(event){
alert("Displayi ng Mouse Coordiantes "+event.cli entX
+","+event.clie ntY);
}
</SCRIPT>
<body>
<P onmousedown="QQ (event)">Testin g</P>
</body>
</html>
Thus, what don't I understand about the keypressed event?
I am running Mozilla 5.0 (rv:1.7.10 Geck/200507
I also tried someother options suggested by the W3C Level Tw Events
Specification.
But section 1.6.3 said that "the DOM Level 2 Event specification does
not provid
a key event module."
