IE Event Problems

[jjacquay712]

this is about as simple as it gets. I have this code:

 

window.onload = function() {
chatarea = document.getElementById("chatarea");
textarea = document.getElementById("textarea");
submitbtn = document.getElementById("submit");

update();

submitbtn.onclick = function() {
	submitChat();
}

textarea.onkeydown = function(event) { 
	if ( event.keyCode == 13 ) {
		submitChat();
		event.preventDefault();
	}
}	
}

 

It works with firefox, but not IE 8. The problem is with the keydown event, the click event works on IE.
