onkeypress ??

[Mel Smith]

Hi:

I have noticed that the 'onkeypress="myfunc";' clause in my <textarea>
element is called properly with most all keys *except* the keys: Del, and
Backspace. I have not tested other special keys so far

I use the 'myfunc' function to warn the user of how many characters are
remaining before reaching my database limit.

I've tried this on Chrome and IE7 so far. Both react the same.

Does anyone have an explanation for this please ?

Thanks !

I think there are some differences between keypress and keydown

Then more, order of onkeypress onkeydown click (and probably
onmouseover) is important

Stephane:

I tried using *onkeyup*, and it works perfectly (at least on IE7 -- I'll
try the others later) !

Thank you.

There certainly are.
