Space bar keyCode(32) not working on Mozilla Firefox
firefox, javascript, keycode, onkeypress, space
Solution
Space is a printable character, so the keypress event will have the `charCode` set to the character that it corresponds to and the `keyCode` won't be set on the keypress event in Firefox.
In general, you want to use `charCode` for printable things in keypress, `keyCode` in keyup/keydown.
Problem
Enter `keyCode(13)` works fine on all browsers. Space bar `keyCode(32)` I tested on Chrome works fine but not responding on Firefox. I used the following code: ``` <script type="text/javascript" > function enterPressed(evn) { var e_id = $('e_id').value; var e_fname = $('e_fname').value; var e_role = $('e_role').value; if (window.event && window.event.keyCode == 13) { Monitor.Order.assign(e_id, e_fname, e_role); } else if (evn && evn.keyCode == 13) { Monitor.Order.assign(e_id, e_fname, e_role); } else if (evn && evn.keyCode == 32) { Monitor.Order.updateStatus('COOKED'); } } document.onkeypress = enterPressed; </script> ``` Why is this not working in Firefox when it works in Chrome?
