enter key pressed call javascript function

Question

I have an asp:TextBox on my page and I would like to detect the enter key to call a javascript function. This is what I have:

Codebehind

txtSearch.Attributes.Add("OnKeyPress", "ProcessKeyPressed()")

aspx page

 function ProcessKeyPressed() {
    if (event.keyCode == 13 || event.keyCode == 10 ) {
        Search();
    }
 }

This works in chrome and IE, but not in Firefox...any idea why this might be the case?

Thanks in advance,

Does not work how? Does the ProcessKeyPressed function not get called at all? Is there any error? Have you used the Firefox JavaScript console or Firebug to check for errors? — scott.korin, Mar 15 '13 at 10:25

Try:

function ProcessKeyPressed(event) {
   if (event.keyCode == 13 || event.keyCode == 10 ) {
       Search();
   }
}

Code behind:

txtSearch.Attributes.Add("OnKeyPress", "ProcessKeyPressed(event || window.event)")

And JS:

function ProcessKeyPressed(event) {
    if (event.keyCode == 13 || event.keyCode == 10 ) {
        Search();
    }
 }

Based on this

You may try this

function ProcessKeyPressed(e) {
    var event = e || window.event;
    var key = event.charCode || event.keyCode
    if (key == 13 || key == 10 ) {
        Search();
    }
}
