Help with cross browser keypress issues..

Ok here is my problem, I need a script that will call a function when one of the arrow keys is pressed. The script I wrote works great in IE but I can’t seem to get it to function in Mozilla or Firefox. I would like to support as many browsers as possible but I am starting to think it’s going to be IE only for this projest ?…

Thanks in advance for any help below is the current script I am using.

<script type=”text/javascript”>
document.onkeyup = KeyCheck;

function KeyCheck()
{
var KeyID = event.keyCode;

switch(KeyID)
{
case 37:
parent.mapframe.moveImageLeft(‘MyPic’);
break;

case 38:
parent.mapframe.moveImageUp(‘MyPic’);
break;

case 39:
parent.mapframe.moveImageRight(‘MyPic’);
break;

case 40:
parent.mapframe.moveImageDown(‘MyPic’);
break;

}
}
</script>

No offence Fang, but did you read my question? That thread has nothing to do with what I was asking. I am not trying to limit something in a form, I am trying to execute a function when someone hits an arrow key. It works in IE but not Firefox or Mozilla.

@EliteCGIauthorSep 17.2005 — I looked through the code and I tried a couple of things but I still can't get it to work with my code.

I simply need my script to catch the arrow keys and when one is pressed execute a function.

Basically when a user hits Up the Up function is called or Down and the down function is called.

If somebody could modify my script to function exactly like it does now but support Mozilla and firefox. It would be greatly appriciated.

function KeyCheck(e)
{
var KeyID =(window.event)? event.keyCode : e.which;

switch(KeyID)
.
