Question

Javascript onKeyPress event not working ?

Answer 1

+1 A:

You should check the rendered output by viewing source of the page but I think your problem is about double quotes. Replace them with single quotes.

txtPassword.Attributes.Add("OnKeyUp", "CheckPasswordStrength('" 
            + txtPassword.ClientID.ToString() + "','"+  lblMessage.ClientID.ToString() 
+"')");

this will probably rendered as :

<input onkeyup="CheckPasswordStrength('clientIdhere', 'clientIdhere');" />

I believe javascript works with double or single quotes.

Canavar 2009-12-22 18:55:04

@Shantanu Gupta : Did you try to attach your function to onkeypress event ?

Canavar 2009-12-22 19:01:02

yes, I tried but it is not working, I even tried onChange and ontextChanged. But only this onKeyUp is working

Shantanu Gupta 2009-12-22 19:09:57

between onkeyup, onkeydown and onkeypress events there is a little difference. What do you want to do exactly ?

Canavar 2009-12-22 19:19:23

I want to work on onkeypress event. I know the difference among all. Although onkeyUp event can work for me but i just wanted to check onKeyPress event.

Answer 2

A:

Change "onkeyup" to "onkeypress?" Maybe I'm not understanding.

Use on onKeyDown for Windows/MSIE.

I want to use OnKeyPress

Shantanu Gupta 2009-12-22 19:27:30

Good luck on that bud, it's not going to work by what you want it to work as. The markup for my web apps are always dynamically generated based on the principles of the browser at play meaning, MSIE get onKeyDown and all others get onKeyPress. This is the only quick and easy way around your issue, really.

"The markup for my web apps are always dynamically generated based on the principles of the browser at play meaning". How do u gets that ?

Shantanu Gupta 2009-12-22 19:59:07

What's your back-end language look like? Meaning is it PHP, Perl, ASP, Java?

drlouie - louierd 2009-12-22 20:03:31

If none of the above we can use javascript to write out your form dynamically as well based on the browser being utilized.

I m using asp.net with C#, Browser IE8/Mozilla
