Tittle Joseph,
If you have onblur written on a textbox and you have accesskey defined
on a button, being in textbox if you click Alt+acceskey, onblur is
fired only after button click event, which may cause sending wrong data
to the server.
Solution:
Trap the access key and call onblur of last element forcefully.
e..g
<body onkeydown="accessKeyEvents();" >
<form >
<script language=javascript>
function accessKeyEvents()
{
//Trapping ALT+R, and validating if REFRESH key clicked.
if (event.altKey == true)
{
if ( event.keyCode == 82 ) //Alt+R
{
try
{
document.activeElement.onblur();
document.activeElement.onchange();
}
catch(e) { }
}
}
}
</script>
<input type=text name=test1 value=dummy
onblur='this.value=this.value.toUpperCase()' />
<input type=text name=test1 value=dummyData
onblur='this.value=this.value.toUpperCase()' />
<input type=button accesskey=r value=Refresh
onclick=document.form1.submit() />
</form>
