Details

1. In response to an onKeyPress event, the which property of the event returns 0 instead of 13 when a CR is entered. In NS 4.76, it returns the expected value of 13. Use the following code to reproduce the problem: <HTML><BODY> <FORM> Type a character: <INPUT TYPE="text" SIZE=1 ONKEYPRESS="alert ('event.which = ' + event.which);return false"> </FORM> </BODY></HTML> 2. Note also that after setting the keyboard focus to the input field, typing a char, and clearing the alert window, typing another char does nothing. I can only assume that the keyboard focus is no longer in the input field anymore although the text cursor is blinking there. To repeat the test with another char, you must once again click in the input field to set the keyboard focus there. This behavior also is different from NS 4.76. I encountered this bug in a real world application which traps the CR in the text field in order to submit the form.
