Hi,

Any idea how to use the key code directly in the function _keyPress() ?
i want to use keypress for "ENTER" and "ESCAPE" buttons.

Regards,
Pankaj.

    I'm dealing with the same thing right now. I want to send PageUp/PageDown to a control on a page.

    I was thinking of using dispatchEvent but haven't had a chance to experiment with it yet. You want to play around with it and let me know what you come up with?

    Hi,

    Thanks for the input. I will definitely try this and will revert with the results i get. :)

    keycode for escape and enter keys are 27 and 13 respectively. I haven't tried but i guess passing these with _keyPress should do the job.

    Ya, I had tried both. It worked for Enter but in case of Escape its throwing error.
    Also tried using dispatchevent thing (but in vain) but am not much conversant with jscript.

    can you post the error you are getting in case of esacpe?
  • pankaj.nithpankaj.nith Members
    Ya. It says element has no properties.
    Actually I am trying to press Escape after waiting for the page to load for a certain period.
    the element that i pass to the _keyPress() function is top.document which is posing the problem, i suppose.

    Right coz the code in _keyPress() to extract value of the element passed and document object doesn't have a valid property called "value".
