    Capturing the onkeydown event i an IFRAME.

    I have a mainpage where i display my menu and an iframe for the
    content to load in. I want to trace keydown events i the Iframe. This
    works well the first time I load the site. But when I load new content
    in the iframe it seems like the eventlistner is destroyed. I can´t
    really understand why. Because the onkeydown listner in the mainpage
    is untouched.

    Here is the code. Is there a solution to my problem?

    <body>
    <div id="appCont" style="position :absolute;top:5 px;left:5px">
    <iframe
    scrolling="no"
    name="appFrame"
    src="splash.jsp "
    frameborder="0"
    width="990"
    height="740">
    </iframe>
    </div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    frames[0].document.onkey down = function (evt) {
    whichASC=(bw.ie )?frames[0].event.keyCode: evt.which;
    alert(whichASC)
    if(whichASC==81 ) {
    ctrlPressed = true;
    return false;
    }
    if(whichASC==9 && ctrlPressed) {
    //do something
    }
    return true;
    };
    </script>
    </body>

    Just a wild guess, but you are attaching the function to the
    frames[0].document NODE and when you change locations the document is
    destroyed and a new one re-created.

    Try re-attaching the function to the new frames[0].document every time
    you change locations. I suspect that might fix it.
