Why aren't key strokes being recognized when a certain table row has focus?

[douha]

Hi all,

I am using IE version 6 and I am moding the jscript for an existing
page in an application.

I am setting the page up so that whenever a function key or any
combination of keys (ctrl-s) for example are pressed, certain actions
will be performed on the document.

Everything is working well with the exception of some divisions in a
table row. Whenever one of these divisions have the focus, the app
stops processing the key down/up/pressed events. The only key event
that it will now recognize is the tab key.

If I mouse click anywhere else in the document or tab away from these
two divisions the app suddenly will start processing the key
down/up/pressed events again.

This is pretty bizare behavior.

I would sure appreciate any suggestions that you could offer.

Thanks,

Not really. Multiposting and failing to post a URL is fairly typical - of
people who haven't read Usenet groups like this for some days before
throwing in a question. Oh, and you also posted to at least one wrong group:
this one is for discussing HTML authoring for the WWW.

I would imagine that you'd have more luck in one of the microsoft.publi c.*
newsgroups, or perhaps a Javascript group. A URL is generally of some use
too.
