I have been searching on the form and website for a way to solve a very specific but seemingly simple issue related to JavaScript in DNN. I have watched the tutorials in issues 11 and 12 which get close to the issue but does not quite solve it.
I am building a modules for our internal data entry team. This team is very fast at entering data and needs to use the keyboard exclusively for entry and navigation (no mouse). I have the JavaScript code to handle all of the hotkey navigation in a standard aspx page (Works Greate) however when I try to place this in DNN the  document.onkeypress = even(); does not work.

Has anyone solved this using either JavaScript or AccessKeys?

 

 

There should not be a problem with this. I've used onkeypress before. Does this note, found by googling "dotnetnuke onkeypress" help?

"I am trying to validate textbox for numeric entry, while I added this code to accomplish in page_load event:

textbox.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "return (window.event.keyCode == 45 || window.event.keyCode == 13 || window.event.keyCode == 8 || window.event.keyCode == 9 || window.event.keyCode == 189 || window.event.keyCode == 109 || (window.event.keyCode >= 48 && window.event.keyCode <= 58) )");

It worked fine in IE7 and IE8, but it didnt work for FF though. A bit googling gave me conclusion that FF doest recognize window.event.keyCode. Basically Firefox
supports the which property instead of the keyCode property IE does. By checking which (window.event.which) of them exists with an if statement we can reliably get the key that was pressed.

I replaced above code with:

textBox.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "var key; if(window.event){ key = event.keyCode;}else if(event.which){ key = event.which;} return (key == 45 || key == 13 || key == 8 || key == 9 || key == 189 || (key >= 48 && key <= 58) )");

it worked for both IE and FF. Hope it would help someone in same need!"
