[Frank Jacobsen]

I got this javascript works fine in Opera and IE, but not in firefox, there is no window.event, do anyone knows why ???

window.event.keyCode is 13 in IE and Opera, but the window.event dont exist in firefox why, and what kan i do, i have to check on enter in a input field ???

 
function validerbrugernrReturn(event) {
 

 

if (window.event && window.event.keyCode == 13) {
   alert("11");
     
        
        if(erhvervskunde == "E"){ 
           alert("12");

      var inputbrugernr = document.getElementById("brugernr");
      alert("13");
      if(inputbrugernr.value.length != 3) {
     alert("Brugernummer forkert");
     return !(window.event && window.event.keyCode == 13); 
       } else { 
     
     document.LoginPage.submit();
     return true;
   }
        } else {
          alert("3");
          document.LoginPage.submit();
          return true;
        }
 
       }
}

Here is how you would make it cross-browser friendly with a basic example:

<script>
 function handleKeyPress(evt) {
  var nbr;
  var nbr = (window.event)?event.keyCode:evt.which;
  alert(nbr);
  return true;
  }
 document.onkeydown= handleKeyPress
</script>
