Javascript: addEventListener with onkeydown doesn't seem to work
javascript
Solution
The event type should be `"keydown"`, notice that you don't need the on prefix:
element.addEventListener("keydown", keyDownTextField, false);
Note also that you should get the `keyCode` from the event object in your handler:
function keyDownTextField (e) {
var keyCode = e.keyCode;
//...
}
Check an example here.
Problem
If you replace "onkeydown" with "click", it reacts, at least. ``` <input id="yourinput" type="text" /> <script type="text/javascript"> document.getElementById("yourinput").addEventListener("onkeydown", keyDownTextField, false); function keyDownTextField() { alert("functional"); if(keycode==13) { alert("You hit the enter key."); } else{ alert("Oh no you didn't."); } } </script> ```
