Javascript dynamically change onkeydown event?

[eboyjr14]

I have this UserScript for Grease monkey. but I can't get the onleydown event to fire in FIREFOX only. I've looked everywhere!


[CODE=javascript]// ==UserScript==
// @name iGoogle Suggest
// @namespace Devin Samarin
// @description This automatcally selects the top result for your query.
// @include *google.com/ig*
// ==/UserScript==
function makeRequest() {
GM_xmlhttpReque st({
method: 'GET',
url: 'http://suggestqueries. google.com/complete/search?output=f irefox&client=f irefox&qu='+enc odeURI(document .getElementById ('q').value),
headers: {
'User-agent': 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible) Greasemonkey/0.3',
},
onload: function(respon seDetails) {

var response = responseDetails .responseText;
document.getEle mentById('q').v alue = response.split( '["')[2].split('"')[0];
}
});
}
var quer = document.getEle mentById('q');
quer.onkeydown = "alert('asa');" ;[/CODE]

onKeyDown = function() { ... };

onkeydown = function() { ... };

onkeydown = "...";

onKeyDown = "...";

onKeyDown = makeRequest;

onkeydown = makeRequest;

hi ...

add the onkeydown-eventhandling into a call from the onload-handler of the documents body ... during load the page is not fully rendered and the node is not available to be retrieved ... when you try it onload ... then the entire dom is loaded and document.getEle mentById finds your node and it will work then ;)

kind regards
