onkeypress

[Divya]

I just want to call an ajax function on pressing the enter key and alt key.since i have a submit button,the form gets submitted if i press enter.Instead,an ajax function should be called when i press enter or alt.Also,i just want to do it with the help of ASCII values of those two buttons on keypress event.Help me!!

You will need to execute a function onkeypress:

function keypressed(evt){
  var key = (evt) ? evt.which : event.keyCode;
  alert(String.fromCharCode(key));

  // Later .....
  if (String.fromCharCode(key)=="<char here>"){
      // Do something
  }
}

Right now it will just alert you to the key pressed. Add this function to the onkeypress event as <input type="text" onkeypress="keypressed(event)">

try below

document.onkeydown=function(evt) {
	var isAltKey = (evt) ? evt.altKey : event.altKey;
	var key = (evt) ? evt.which : event.keyCode;
	if(isAltKey  && key == 13) {
		//do ajax call here
	}
};

EDIT: realized google had taken me into AJAX, not c#

Jordan, if you want to remove this, please do- wrong language
my apologies everyone... thought things looked odd lol

I know this is an older topic, but I found something else while working on a project. I too wanted the enter key to do something, here's what I came up with:

        private void getData()
        {
            try
            {
                this.inventory_pricingTableAdapter.Fill(this.marksDataSet.inventory_pricing, partNumToolStripTextBox.Text);
            }
            catch (System.Exception ex)
            {
                System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }
        }

        private void partNumToolStripTextBox_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.KeyChar == 13)
            {
                getData();
            }
        }

Works great for me
