    Question Call Function when textbox is active

    I have a text box and I want the function to run only if the text box is active. (user has clicked or tab over to the TxtBox1) and the user presses F9 on their keyboard



    document.onkeyup = handleKeyUp;

    function handleKeyUp(e)
    {
    if(!e)
    var e = window.event;

    key = e.keyCode;
    Frm.txtBox1.value = key;

    if (key == 120)
    {
    alert("You pressed F9 key");
    }

    }

    Put the onkeyup handler on the text box, not the document.
