Replace a character in an input box - onkeypress - FF problem

[tonySAN]

Hi,
I have the following code which works fine in IE but does not in Firefox:

<html> <head>
     <title>space-plus</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function alpha(e) {
     if(e.keyCode==32) {return (e.keyCode=43);}
}
// -->
</script>
</head>  <body> <form>
<input type="text" onkeypress="return alpha(event);">
</form> </body> </html>

I have tried a number of variations - without success. The idea is that when a user enters a space in the input box a plus sign is shown.
Any answers? Can Firefox do this?

i believe in firefox its charCode
so you could do something like

<html> <head>
<title>space-plus</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function alpha(e) {
var unicode = e.charCode ? e.charCode : e.keyCode;
if (unicode==32) { return (e.charCode ? e.charCode=43 : e.keyCode=43); }
}
// -->
</script>
</head> <body> <form>
<input type="text" onkeypress="return alpha(event);">
</form> </body> </html>

Thanks Clint,
works in IE but still not in Firefox!
I wonder if the problem lies in intercepting the keycode and sending on the new keycode (or charcode). I have also tried 'onkeyup' and 'onkeydown' but these stop the function working in IE.
Your code suggestion was:

<html> <head>
<title>space-plus</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function alpha(e) {
var unicode = e.charCode ? e.charCode : e.keyCode;
if (unicode==32) { return (e.charCode ? e.charCode=43 : e.keyCode=43); }
}
// -->
</script>
</head> <body> <form>
<input type="text" onkeypress="return alpha(event);">
</form> </body> </html>

<input type='text' onkeyup="this.v alue=this.value .replace(/\s/g,'+')">

This code help me a lot for creating unicode in textbox.
