Hey guys/Gals,

Need to capture the 10 key, when NUM LOCK is OFF:

here is what i have:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>

<!-- Begin
var key = new Array(); // Define key launcher pages here
key['1'] = &quot;/drs/inq.pl&quot;;

key['8'] = &quot;/drs/insurance-information.pl?INSURANCE=INS::CODE01&quot;;
key['9'] = &quot;/drs/insurance-information.pl?INSURANCE=INS::CODE02&quot;;

function getKey(keyStroke) {
isNetscape=(document.layers);
// Cross-browser key capture routine couresty
// of Randy Bennett (rbennett@thezone.net)
eventChooser = (isNetscape) ? keyStroke.which : event.keyCode;
which = String.fromCharCode(eventChooser).toLowerCase();
for (var i in key) if (which == i) window.location = key;
}
document.onkeypress = getKey;
// End -->
</script>

This works great with the numbers on the top row of the keyboard..... but i need to capture the 10 key pad when the num lock key is off. Any ideas?

alert(event.keyCode) - what value does it return when numlock is off?

Test for that as well as the usual keycode.

Try this:
Code: 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN&quot; &quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd&quot;>[/URL]
<html>
<head>
<title>test bed</title>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function checkKeycode(e) {
	var keycode;
	if (window.event) keycode = window.event.keyCode;
	else if (e) keycode = e.which;
	alert(&quot;keycode: [&quot; + keycode + &quot;]&quot;);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Type in here:
<input type=&quot;text&quot; size=&quot;10&quot; value=&quot;&quot; onKeyPress=&quot;checkKeycode(event)&quot;>
</p>
</body>
</html>

with numlock OFF, firebird gives me a keycode of 0 for any number pad key, while IE doesn't even fire the event (useful sometimes).

Posting code? Wrap it with code tags: [ignore]

[/ignore][code]CodeHere
[ignore][/code][/ignore].
