i was curious if anyone could help me trap for the "TAB" being pressed. on the keyPress event i can trap for when "Return" or "Esc" and others are pressed by using the keyCode value...i just haven't been able to find a keyCode value for the "TAB"....and work for both IE and Netscape.


any suggestions would be great!!!
