Form Keypress Event

**dcarlson** · Jun 26th, 2001, 02:27 PM

I have a web page form that I want to validate.

How can I capture the Ascii code for the onKeyPress event of a web page textbox?

Such as (VB Code):

Code:

Private Sub txtFileNum_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
    If KeyAscii >= 97 And KeyAscii <= 122 Then
        KeyAscii = Asc(UCase(Chr(KeyAscii)))
    End If
End Sub

Thanks in advance.

All I want to do is capture what key is being press in a textbox.

I would appreciate any help?

I was hoping for VBScript but that will work.

Thank you.

Pretty much the same:

Code:

<SCRIPT ID=clientEventHandlersVBS LANGUAGE=VBScript> 
Sub text1_onkeypress 
    window.alert window.event.keyCode 
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
