Hi.

I have an .aspx page that I'm trying to get to fire some javascript code when I use the Enter key in a text box.

Here is my html/aspx code:

<input type="text" runat="server" id="tbSearch" onkeypress="javascript:SearchEnter();">


And this is the Javascript code it should fire:

function SearchEnter()
{
if ( (window.event && window.event.keyCode == 13) || (window.event.charCode == 13))
{
alert("SearchEnter");
SubmitSearch();
}
}

As you can see, I have an alert box and that never appears.

Of course this all works just fine in IE, and that is my problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you might be trying to make this harder than is necessary...

From what I know (and its not much) is when you are entering data in a form, pressing the enter key will automatically submit the form (in which you could execute a onSubmit event).

window.event is an IE only thing. I think you want something more like:

function myFunc(evt) {
evt = (evt) ? evt : ((window.event) ? window.event : "")
if (evt) {
// process event here
}
}

and in the html:

<input type="text" runat="server" id="tbSearch" onkeypress="javascript:SearchEnter(evt);">
