Key code check in Javascript not working for IE

Question

I tired to write a function to check key code with javascript. It\'s working fine for firefox but not IE. Does anyone know what is going wrong with my code? Please see below cod

Answer 1

switch your first line of code:

...

var e = e || window.event;

...

and see if that helps.

Also, if it is a unicode character try something like the following:

function displayunicode(e) {
    var unicode=e.keyCode? e.keyCode : e.charCode
    alert(unicode)
}

If you're handling keydown instead of keypress, then things get a bit more complex... See: http://unixpapa.com/js/key.html
