Capturing a Tab Keystroke

[WebNickson]

Hi,

Can someone show me how to capture a Tab Keystroke in an input box?

I tried the following code but it's not working...

if (window.event.keyCode == 09) {alert('That\'s the TAB key')};

Try this.

function hanldeEvent(evt)
{
evt = (evt) ? evt : ((window.event) ? event : null);

if (evt)
{
if (evt.ctrlKey)
{// Process Control-Click here}
else
{// alert(evt.keyCode);}
}
}

lol... we have very similar problem where the pressed key is not responding.

I tried to solve your problem with evt.shiftKey. It responded to Shift-A, etc but not Shift-Right Arrow! Headache man!

fyi, I've solved the problem... changed from keypress event to keydown event and it worked.
