Hello everyone,
I am very new to this forum as well as to javascript. I have following code for enter key event on my page. its working in all browsers except firefox. I have searched online a lot but nothing has worked and finally I have thought to get some help from the experts.

<script>
function checkKey()
{
if (window.event.keyCode == 13)
{
loadUrl();
}
return true;
}
</script>

onkeydown=”checkKey();return true;”

any help is much appreciated.

Thank you.

Kind Regards.

@LutinFouJun 18.2012 — Hi,

window.event is IE specific. Firefox will use the following syntax evt.keyCode.

You could adapt your code by testingfr this, ie. at the very start of your function write

if(!evt){

var evt=window.event;

}

ie if the browser does not use evt, to use window.event

and then throughout your code use evt.keyCode.

This shoul dmake it IE and non-IE compatible.

best regards
