Hiii All,

I have tried with onchange and onblur events for calling javascript on TextBox. But I am able to operate any one of the two buttons, either "tab" or "enter", but not both. I need to know which event can be used to make both the buttons work on Textbox with javascript.

Please suggest me on this issue.

Regards,

Use jQuery. Go to jQuery.com and and download the latest version. Include the jQuery javascript in your page and add the following script :

C#

$("#yourtextboxId").keydown(function (event) {
    if ((event.keyCode == '13') ||
        (event.keyCode == '9')){
        // Do something
    }
});

Easy as that!

BTW : Keycode 13 is for the return, and 9 is for the tab key
