View source for Talk:Working with events

Today I'm fighting with FireFox for some controls and found some interesting issues, hope it will make sense for you in<br>some cases.

<br>1. the clientside event '''onkeypress '''will never be fired on IE if the pressed key is some special key such as: BACKSPACE, DELETE, HOME, END......<br>But it always be fired on FireFox whatever the pressed key is. This issue may cause some problems if you think that it will not fired on FireFox with some special key,<br>so the code inside the event handler may kill it.

2. I found in some places of our code that you used the '''charCode '''property of event object to get the code of pressed key on FireFox, but it just has meaning when the<br>key is not the special key. As you already know, in FireFox we have 2 properties of event object : '''keyCode &amp; charCode''' to store the code of pressed key. Plz be<br>noticed that normally we get the code from '''charCode '''but if that's a special key, you must use the '''keyCode'''.
