Hi !
How to get the key code in javascript for four arrow keys with in a form text field, that should work in netscape 4.x . It is urgent.

Thanks

if it's that urgent maybe you could reformulate your question so that we understand it ?

Hi All,
I have similar problem. This is my function:

<script LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot;>
function IEKey() {
if (window.event.keyCode == 90)
{alert('That\'s the Z key')};
if (window.event.keyCode == 5)
{alert('That\'s the UpArrow key')};
}
</script>

Works for the Z key but not for the UpArrow key.

Suggestions, please?

I had no problem with IE 6:

<label id=&quot;lblout&quot;>jj</label>
<script LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot;>
function IEKey() {
// make and set an array for text output:
var arr = new Array();
arr[arr.length] = &quot;keyCode is: &quot; + event.keyCode + &quot;<br>&quot;;
arr[arr.length] = &quot;ctrlKey is: &quot; + event.ctrlKey + &quot;<br>&quot;;
arr[arr.length] = &quot;shiftKey is: &quot; + event.shiftKey + &quot;<br>&quot;;
arr[arr.length] = &quot;altKey is: &quot; + event.altKey + &quot;<br><br>&quot;;
arr[arr.length] = &quot;<h1>Property and event list:</h1>&quot; + &quot;<br>&quot;;
for(hh in event){
arr[arr.length] = hh + &quot;<br>&quot;;
}
if(event.keyCode==38){
alert(&quot;keyup&quot;
}
document.getElementById('lblout').innerHTML=arr.join(&quot;&quot;
}
document.onkeyup = IEKey;
</script>

For arunjp, this should work:
<script>
NN = (document.all) ? 0 : 1;
function MouseDown(e) {
if (NN) {
// Netscape code here e is event
} else {
// IE code here, event is event (like event.srcElement)
}
}
if (NN) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN | Event.MOUSEMOVE | Event.MOUSEUP);
}
document.onmousedown = MouseDown;
</script>
