Event object not found in Mozilla onkeypress but works on chrome

Question

I was checking some code and found an issue that on key press a JS event is called with no parameter passed and he consoles the event. The event object gets displayed in chrome but not on Mozilla.

Please find the sample code below: HTML

<input type="text" onkeypress="func()"/>

JS

function func(){
 console.log(event);
}

The above works fine in chromium but not on Mozilla.

To log the event object you must put an 'event' parameter between the function parenthesis to receive it as a local variable. — Web_Designer, Apr 12 '17 at 06:05

I've come across situations like this as well. Passing the event as a param to the function works, both in Chrome and in Firefox.

Maybe this will help.
