javascript:keysuppress(event)

Marcia Gulesian

How can I make the following code run only when the cursor is in one
text box and not in another?
<body onkeypress="javascript:keysuppress(event)"
function keysuppress(e)
{
if (e.type=="keypress" && e.keyCode=="13")
{
event.returnValue=false
}
}

This would be for I.E. 5.5 and later.

Set the handler on the textbox and not on the body element. And remove the
"javascript:" bit. That would be the quickest, I think. Or identify your
textboxes and test for an id in the function before deciding on a return
value.

Ivo,

How exactly do I identify my textboxes and test for an id in the function ?

Thanks,

Marcia

I got it:

document.activeElement.getAttribute("name")
