Javascript and the onkeypress event
« on: March 06, 2009, 06:08:33 PM »
Why does <body id="body" onkeypress="return SomeFunc(event)"> work but document.getElementById("body").onkeypress=SomeFunc; not work??? Every google search comes up with onkeypress as part of the XHTML, and I would prefer to avoid having to embed it in there like that.

nevermind, it turns out if you just want to snag all key input you attach it to the document's events, not the body's.
