Hit count: 300
I'm seeing my Friend's code here...
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Check action </TITLE>
<script>
function detectEvent(){
if(window.event.keyCode==13)
{
alert("you hit return!");
}
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form name="name1" onkeyup="detectEvent()" action="page2.html">
<p> Field1
<input type="text" id="text1"/>
</p>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
and when he tried entering a value in the textbox and pressed enter, it did not call the detectEvent(). I said, it'll always call onSubmit on enter button..... and he surprised me,
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Check action </TITLE>
<script>
function detectEvent(){
if(window.event.keyCode==13)
{
alert("you hit return!");
}
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form name="name1" onkeyup="detectEvent()" action="page2.html">
<p> Field1
<input type="text" id="text1"/>
</p>
<p> Field1
<input type="text" id="text2"/>
</p>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Now press enter, The function gets called..... Why so!?
Why onKeyUp not called on forms with just one field.!!! am i missing something?
