Hi

I have:
<div onkeypress="go(event)">...</div>
and:

function go(event) {
alert(event.keyCode);
}

but I always get 0 for the keycode.

I am using Mozilla.
Thank you for your help.

By the way, it works in IE. Is the property different in Mozilla/Netscape?

Ok

It's not *keyCode* it's *charCode*.
Now *that's* incompatibility.

The way events are handled and the properties they have are different between IE
and Mozilla.

IE has a global Event object attached to the default window object
(window.event). In Mozilla, the event is passed as the first parameter to the
event handler.

A list of event object properties in IE is available at: <url:

A list of event object properties in Mozilla is available at:
