I am bringing a popup when F2 button is pressed but the problem is when I press Q button the popup is coming. My first thought was its the problem with my keyboard, so I tried in different system, the result was same. Then I made a test code, just to ensure there is no bug in my code, but it also gives same result. This is my sample code
<html>
<head>
<script>
function giveFocusToRespectiveQuantity(evt) {
var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : evt.keyCode;
alert(charCode);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" onkeypress="return giveFocusToRespectiveQuantity(event)">
</body>
</html>As you can see when F2 and Q are pressed the charcode is same for both. Why is that?
These links say that key code for Q is 81
use 'onkeydown' or 'onkeyup' instead. because onkeypress only detects allowed keys, not control keys.
for example:
returns 113 for F2 and 81 FOR q/Q keys.
