Good morning,
I am running eLinks with the SpiderMonkey engine compiled in, and I am having
some trouble using the onkeypress event, when it's registered for the document
as a whole. That is, I have a piece of script at the bottom of the page that
registers the onkeypress event for the document:
document.onkeypress=evalKey;
Earlier in the document is a script defining the evalKey function, which takes
the keyboard event and analyzes it, to determine if a certain key was pressed
and take some action:
function evalKey(e)
{
//do some analysis
}
This works just fine in Firefox/Mozilla, and I can trigger the function in
eLinks with an onclick event registered to a key, but it doesn't work in eLinks
with the onkeypress event registered to the document. Is this due to a
limitation in eLinks's document support, or a problem in the code supporting
the onkeypress event, or a limitation in eLinks's support of the event model?
My next step is to try registering the onkeypress event with the text field,
but that's less than ideal -- I'd like to be able to capture and analyze the
user's keystrokes whether the text field has focus or not.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can offer,
Roger Alix-Gaudreau
