Re: [AJAX] custom control implementing IScriptControl : no key events notification in firefox

Hi Walter,

I made some progress on this issue. I finally found a workaround.
Please find below my comments.
[...]
You will find below the code of an html page that basically does what
the MS Ajax library is doing at init time using the DOM API.
As it is, it reproduces the behavior I have with MS js lib.

it's better with the code...

var elt = document.getElementById(target);

if (elt.addEventListener) {

// Begin Firefox workaround

// *** Uncomment the line below to fix the issue ***

// elt.tabIndex = -1;

// End Firefox workaround

elt.addEventListener(eventName, handler, true);

}

}


function foo(e) {

alert('onkeydown: ' + e.target.id);

}

</script>

<input type="text" id="text" />

<div id="mydiv" style="width:100px;height:100px;background-color:blue"

<div style="left: 5px; width: 500px; position: absolute; top: 105px; height:
500px">

<div id="MyControl1"
style="background-color:red;position:relative;left:5px;top:5px;width:500px;height:500px;">

</div>

</div>

<script type="text/javascript">

wireEventHandler('MyControl1','keydown', foo);
