Mark,
Thank you. That was a great help.
For those playing at home, here's what I ended up with that works in
both IE and FireFox...
function TrapKey(evt){
evt = (evt) ? evt : (window.event) ? event : null;
if (evt)
{
var charCode = (evt.charCode) ? evt.charCode : ((evt.keyCode) ?
evt.keyCode :((evt.which) ? evt.which : 0));
if(charCode == 13)
{
//do stuff
return false;
}
}
}
Also, found it helpful to call the function properly - doh!
onKeyPress="javascript:TrapKey(event);"
Gotta love all those divergent DOMs!
Thanks again.
