[RESOLVED] help in closing calendar on Esc Key

[su ki]

hi
i m using asp .net calendar control everything works fine
currently using button for show and hide
but dont know how to code for closing it on esc key press

You can use javascript to capture the escape keypress event.

var keypress = (window.event) ? event.keyCode : e.keyCode;
if(keypress == 27)
{
self.close();
}

hey mendhak

i got this error "Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'e' is undefined"

pls help

[mendhak]

The window.event check is supposed to see if it's IE or firefox and if you're using IE, it should have used event.keyCode, not e.keyCode.

Can you do an alert(window.event) to see if it's null for you or not?
