"onkeypress" event

[Mike Moore]

We are using the "onkeypress" event in Javascript to determine when
the user hits a particular key. This works well unless an ASP.NET
control (such as a textbox) has focus. In this case the onkeypress
event does not fire. Unfortunately, our need is to handle key presses
when a control does have focus, so we are kind of stuck right now.

My question is are we approaching this in the correct way? Is there
a better way to do this?

You might not be passing the correct ID to the client-side script.
Peter Blum helped bring this to my attention in this forum topic [1] when I
had problems with similar events.
