Hello.

I need a PRESS KEY event, when a Key is Pressed... something happens!

For example, when I press Enter, for example... a Form is sent.

THANKS.

a simplest example: works in ie
function func(){
alert('a key was pressed')
}

<body onkeypress="func()"> Victor

a form usualy uses the "submit" thinga... for example

<form name="frm" action="javascript:alert('form action')">
<input type="text">
<input type="submit" value="Submit form">
</form>

this is (my opinion) the best way!! but if you want to enable the user to press return in a combobox, then you must add more code

have one ready if you need!! (a simple, but effective one (I hope...)) My codes look like something a kid wrote
I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about
Somehow I still manage to make it work
