Getting Keycode From Keypress Event
Jul 20, 2005I have:
<div onkeypress="go(event)">...</div>
and:
function go(event) {
alert(event.keyCode);
}
but I always get 0 for the keycode.

JQuery :: Why PreventDefault At Keypress Event Prevent The Change Event
Aug 13, 2011look at this script :
$(function(){
$('input').bind('keypress',null,b).bind('change',null,a);
});
function a(){
[Code].....
this script bind both keypress and change of the text box to functions b and a. at keypress event handler if user type a char on input box the value of input box change to x and the user char discarded. In this case we expected to run the onchange (change) event because the textbox value is changed BUT this doesn't happen.
IE Event And KeyCode/charCode
Oct 20, 2005I'm trying to figure out what key the user pressed using a Danish
keyboard layout. charCodeAt returns the correct number, but
event.keyCode returns a wrong number, when using one of the keys that
are different on a Danish keyboard layout. "-" returns 45 and 189
respectively. Etc. (The input-field in the sample code below displays
the right character).
I've tried setting the lang-parameter to 'da', but it doesn't make a
difference.
sample code:
<input type="text"
onkeyup="alert(this.value.charCodeAt(this.value.length-1));alert(window.event.keyCode);">
Am I missing something, or is the event.keyCode in IE hardcoded to an
english keyboard layout? Is there a way to automatically convert the
event.keyCode so it corresponds with the users keyboard?
Reassign An Event's Keycode For FireFox

JQuery :: Event.keyCode Returns 0 In FireFox?

JavaScript Event.keyCode Evaluation (Firefox Safe!)
Sep 7, 2005Here is an answer for those who are looking for a keystroke evaluation
script that works in Internet Explorer (IE 5.5, 6.0, 7.0 for PC--IE
4.0, 5.2 for Mac), Mozilla Firefox (Windows, Linux, and Apple
Macintosh), Safari, Opera, and other off-brand web browsers.
I have gone through many groups trying to find code that didn't break
in Firefox--yet still worked in other browsers. Although many people
give input on this topic, few are correct in their handling of the
events to give the correct results across the board.
I am a Webmaster, and although I have worked with much JavaScript, I do
not claim to be an expert on this topic--so feel free to post any
improvements that you can make.
Here's the test code, this snippet designed to force numeric-only input
in any browser, with the exception of a couple keys that are still
needed for form navigation (such as Tab--although this can be tailored
to your needs by adding more exceptions):
---SNIP_01---
<script language="JavaScript">
function CheckNumericKeyInfo($char, $mozChar) {
if($mozChar != null) {// Look for a Mozilla-compatible browser
if(($mozChar >= 48 && $mozChar <= 57) || $mozChar == 0 || $char ==
8 || $mozChar == 13) $RetVal = true;
else {
$RetVal = false;
alert('Please enter a numeric value.');
}
}
else {// Must be an IE-compatible Browser
if(($char >= 48 && $char <= 57) || $char == 13) $RetVal = true;
else {
$RetVal = false;
alert('Please enter a numeric value.');
}
}
return $RetVal;
}
</script>
---END_01---
This function would then be called as follows:
---SNIP_02---
<input type="text" name="over_figure" id="over_figure" size="5"
onKeyPress="return CheckNumericKeyInfo(event.keyCode, event.which);"
value="">
---END_02---
I have personally tested this on PC, Mac, and Linux systems in every
Web browser that I can get my hands on. It's far easier than the other
scripts that I've found, and you can just add "alert('keyCode: ' +
$char)" to find any other keycodes you might want to allow if you don't
know them off-hand. Obviously there is room to add a larger exception
list if you have need of it, and it might be better to just set $RetVal
to TRUE in the else and add an else if for IE, but my use didn't
require it.
I hope it saves someone some time!

Keypress Event In DOM?
Jun 18, 2003DOM2 does not provide a key event module. (http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Events-20001113/events.html#Events-eventgroupings-keyevents) That's fine. I'm down with that.
According to the DOM3 Events spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-DOM-Level-3-Events-20030331/events.html#Events-KeyboardEvents-Interfaces) (in last call), there's no keyPress event, only keyDown and keyUp. Instead (I guess) they've defined a new interface for text events (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-DOM-Level-3-Events-20030331/events.html#Events-TextEvent), which provides one event type: textInput.
Should I not code event handlers for keyPress events if I wish to write DOM-compliant scripts? IE & Moz both register a keyPress; I'm sure that it won't be outphased. I worry instead about a new and better browser appearing and balking on my script because it's coded exactly to spec.

Click Event - Mouse Or Keypress
Sep 1, 2007Is there any cross-browser method of determining whether a click event was triggered by a mouse left click or the keyboard's 'enter' key? I was expecting event.button, or event.which to be able to do this, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Checking event.clientX == 0 && event.clientY == 0 works in FF, but not in IE.

Override A Keypress Event And Redirect It To Another?
May 6, 2010Code...
I'm getting an error object required on the window.onkeypress line.
I have a data entry app and the users are keying with their right hand on the number pad and flipping pages with their left. If they want to use the normal tab key they have to take their hand off of the papers to do so. I figured it would be pretty simple to override the keypress even for the + key and divert it to act like tab was pressed instead.

Call Window.open() From A Keypress Event?
Nov 11, 2007I've got a script which is called by a keypress event, something like this:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function respondToKey(e) {
keyPressed = String.fromCharCode(e.which);
if(keyPressed == 'g'){
alert('you pressed the g key');
window.open('http://google.com');
}
}
</script>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body onkeypress="respondToKey(event)">
hit the g key to open a google window
</body>
</html>
when you hit the right key, the alert appears, but the window.open() never happens. There's not even a message in the Error Console, just nothing.
Is this a security feature? Any way I can get around it? And, if it's a security feature, is the fact that it fails silently with no error message also a security feature? Because it's rather annoying.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat's Wrong With KeyCode And String.fromCharCode
Feb 27, 2006I got this (piece of) script from 'DHTML Utopia - Modern Webdesign - Using Javascript & DOM'.
function aKeyWasPressed(e) {
if (window.event) {
var key = window.event.keyCode;
} else {
var key = e.keyCode;
}
alert('You pressed the key: ' + String.fromCharCode(key));

It is example of adding an eventlistener to a textarea. The events works alright, but when I press 'a' the alert gives me 'A', when I press Ǝ' I get 'h', when I press Ɔ' I get ''', when I press 'à' I get Ɔ', .... Has probably something to do with the fact that I don't live in the UK or
USA. But it shouldn't matter; a key is a key.
Assigning KeyCode A Value In A Document Containing A Form
Mar 7, 2006Basically we are trying to simulate the tab key when the
down arrow key is pressed. (we know there are other way
to control focus flow but we use a lot of dynamic jsp fields,
that will make the flow control a nightmare, we just want
basic tabbing from the arrow key)
1)We are able to capture a onkeydown event and reasign it with another
key value with no problem within an html document without a form.
example:
var ieKey = event.keyCode;
if (ieKey == 40) {
event.keyCode = 9;
}
however as soon as we insert a form tag in the document, this stops
functioning. The asignment seems to be fine as an alert clearly shows, but the
instruction seems to be ignored. Code:
