Getting The Key Code From A Keyboard Event
Jul 23, 2005
I've been looking up lots of documentation and trying to work out a
cross-platform method of capturing a keyboard event and working out
which key was pressed. From what I can find, there doesn't appear to be
any standardised keyboard event interface other than this DOM 3 Events
W3C Working Group Note [1]. However, it is only a note and doesn't
appear to be implemented in any browser. Is there another standard that
I've missed?
The Gecko DOM Reference lists event.keyCode [2], but this doesn't appear
to be implemented in Firefox 1.0.2, as e.keyCode in the following
returns 0, regardless of the key pressed. Code:

I am having a play around with javascript and the html5 canvas to evaluate the feasibility of using it for a few personal projects.I have tried using both setInterval or setTimeout to set up a very rough framerate for an animation.The framerate is fine when coupled with a simple delta timing to smooth out the changes however when running under a large load (large images) I cannot seem to capture keyboard events very easily.
If I wiggle around the mouse a bit, it makes the keyboard more responsive but is there any way to get the window to poll the inputs rather than wait for an event to fire?This is much worse on Linux but the issue is still around on Windows.

Does anyone know why these event codes run twice? E.g. I am using a cookie to keep track of [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [F] by incrementing a variable once everytime it is used. However the code for it runs twice and thus the variable is never odd as it always increments by two.It's the same for the other events, such as [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [S], it runs twice. This was not occuring when I first inserted the cookie code last week. I have read about "bubbling" but I cannot seem to stop the code running a second time.EDIT: Internet Explorer (6+) is only browser code needs to work in.
document.addEvent('keydown', function(event) {
var event = new Event(event);
if (event.key == 'f' && event.control && event.shift) {

My name is juan and recently started html programming. I have a web page with a drop box with the name of states.
Code:
<option value="">Alabama</option>
<option value="">Alaska</option>
I can add a onclick="code here" to the tag so that when the drop box alabama is selected it triggers the onclick event. Im using Ibox in order to have a image of the state open.
Code:
<a href="images/large/image_1b.jpg" rel="ibox" title="alabama at 1024x450!"><img
src="images/small/image_1.jpg" alt=""/></a>
the above is a <a> link tag correct? How do I go bout adding the above code into the onclick event?

I'm writing a JavaScript Equation Editor / Whiteboard App, and i seem to be having a problem with one line of JavaScipt Code.... The Equation Editor is hosted live here:[URL] I have used the DOM Inspector (i'm using firefox) to look at the onMouseDown= event code, and it should work.... However, when i try to drag a Math Element Image to a different location (after it has been added to the page by clicking on the Math Element Keyboard), it does nothing. I looked on the Error Console, and there is nothing there.
I looked at the Node value in the DOM inspector, and it is as it should be. I have also tried changing and removing some double quotes and single quotes, as that has worked in the past on similar code snippets.

I am doing a simple function to validate text fields(you can see the code below). Now, the alert box appears only once when I refresh the page, not when I click inside or outside the username box. #username is the id of a input text field. On a sidenote, how can I pass multiple parameters to the function(not a fixed number of params)? or should I just pass an array?

I have some half-working script I'm playing with that I half-understand (this is the real problem) which I'm having troube debugging because it always does work when I refresh.So whenever I step through my functions with Firebug everything does what I expect it to do: but if then I re-invoke my onchange event, not every step is taken and it's hard to see why because I can't "see" what it's doing after the page has loaded and the script run at least once.This is for hide-and-show in a form and all the other versions I see online are even less understandable than what I've got so far. So I figure I'd better debug the one I have.Anyone know how to re-watch a script onevent?

It's pretty common to assign a click even to a <div> (or other tag), such as:
Code:
// JQuery
$(document).ready(function(){
$("div").click(function(){[code]....
Of course this event won't be accessible from the keyboard, which might be nice. Now if it where an <a> tag, you can do this:
Code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a").click(function(e){
alert("clicked");
e.preventDefault();
});
});
The click event will fire if you click the <a>, OR if you tab to it with your keyboard and hit Enter.My question is: is there a way to make elements other than <a> tags accessible in this way? I recently discovered if you define a tabindex on your div, such as <div tabindex="0">test</div>, you can tab to that div, but click events don't seem to fire if you use your keyboard. Are <a> tags the only tags that can work in this way?

This might be more easily explained just by showing you the code. Basically, this is a function within a large class dealing with moving table rows around, and works in Chrome but no where else. Chrome understands "event.clientY" in this context while other browsers throw "event is undefined". Y is a correctly set global indicating the clientY of where the original click occurred.
Code:
set_bgcolor = function (t, r) {
var tr, i;
var currentY = pointer.y = event.clientY;
tr = tables[t].rows[r];
[Code]....
So, I'm just trying to get event.clientY to work for all browsers in this case, where an event handler might not easily be passed to the function.
Details:
I'm using third-party code to move rows of a table around. [URL]
It's a large piece of drag and drop code, but I'm trying to edit it so that at a point near the code's completion, it says whether the initial mouse click was above or below where the cursor has been dragged to. "Why" is a long story, but suffice it to say that there are functional differences when dragging the row up rather than down (up puts it above the hovered over row, while below puts in under that row), and I want to place a border line in there so that users know exactly where the row is going.
So you probably don't have to look at the whole code (which I can provide if you'd like), but my basic question is, how do I get the function to know where the current mouse pointer is this many levels deep in code. I could try to pass the event through all the layers, but I'm not good enough at javascript to make that work, and I'm not sure it would. Isn't the event the keypress (and not the current position?).

I have a page with a form, that represent questions and the corresponding answers.I defined the minimum questions, answers, and their maximum.So I added a link in the form to add question (along with the minimum amount of answers), and a link per question to add an answer in it.the "click" event for my links is like:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".addquestion").click(function(event){...});
$(".addanswer").click(function(event){alert("addanswer");...});
});
the code look more like JS, but basically it.adds the html code in the corresponding divs.The problem is the following: if I add a question, it also add a link to add answers to this question, but this link does not fire the event.Did I miss something to add to make it work?I mean the link in html page is exactly the same, I even tried not
changing the part with the int, it still doesn't work.

I am trying to get this code to work in IE. It works on Firefox, but not on IE. Basically it blocks out scrolling the page down with space button, and registers up and down keys to run some code. The entire case statement including event registering and my code works completely fine in FF but it just won't work in IE (meaning that I can scroll down with space, and up and down with the up and down keys respectively).
By the way I put this function in the HEAD section.
window.onkeydown = function(event)
{
// No space scrolling!
switch (event.keyCode)

So, this code does what it's supposed to do (check an array for dis-allowed input and supply the appropriate keyboard for touchscreen users) but I was worried that maybe this wasn't the most succinct logic...
kb=2,kp=1;
for(var i in Setup.DisAllowed){
if(Setup.DisAllowed[i]==0)[code].....
Keeping in mind the Setup.DisAllowed array and APP.Module method are fixed in stone, would anyone recommend a better way to use the array to select the necessary keyboard?

Now, I have a script that has auto complete thing with the help of Javascript and DOM and AJAX, and I follow this tutorial [URL]
Well everything working great, but, I want 1 thing. When the Suggestion box is visible, and has all the options, and If I mouse over them, it will show the hover effect. I want to achieve the same with keyboard. Like if I press down for the first time, the first option will be selected, and then if i press down again, it will select (hover) the next and so on, and similar is the case with up arrow key. Now, when i press enter, the selected option should go to the text box as if I click on a item.
