Adding Events To Input Items

[y_oda2002]

Hi everyone,

I am new to using dhtml and was wondering when you create an input element, i.e.

var someInput = createElement('input');

How do you add an event to an input item?
like a onKeyUp event.


Thanks,

Nick

There are multiple ways. The simplest is to use DOM0 events.

var someInput = document.createElement('input');
someInput.onkeyup = function(e){
  e = e||window.event;
  var key = e.which||e.charCode||e.keyCode;
  alert(key);
}
