is onkeydown legitimate html

[dsdsdsdsd]

hello;

 

according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536938(VS.85).aspx, the onkeydown event is defined in HTML 4.0;

 

but I am unable to trigger it in Firefox;

 

any thoughts?

 

thanks,

onkeydown should work fine afaik, https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/element.onkeydown

You wouldn't happen to attaching an eventlistener with something like

 document.getElementById('id').attachEventListener( 'onkeydown', function() {} )

?

Cause there are some differences there between IE and the standard:

 document.getElementById( 'id' ).appendEventListener( 'keydown', function() {}, false )

 

(typed that down in a rush as lunch is waiting for me, so hope it isn't total gibberish)

well, I am using it within html:

<div onkeydown = "my_function() " >

 

I will see if using it within js will work for me;

 

thanks,

So this is really a Javascript issue, not an HTML one?

please shoot me ... I was using my_textarea.innerText += my_result to display the results of my event testing ... innerText apparently only works in IE;

 

my problem had nothing to do with onkeydown;

haha,

Yes .innerText is the non standard way, it's .textContent in other browsers (And that's why I always use alert() for tests)
