The scenario is.... there is a text-area that is used as chatbox where
user enters their text msgs for chatting ..now it has a fixed width
but the height increases according to the content.... now the problem
that i am facing is whenver i do a cntrl+v on to the textarea , the
height of the textarea does not increase according to the contents.
I tried capturing the cntrl key event using "event.ctrlKey" on
"onkeypress" event, but i works only for FF and fails in IE and
chrome.
Is there any way by which i can capture 'Paste' event......
Any help wld be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
Have a look here:http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/w3c_events.html#keyprops
Please note the listed keydown and keyup. keypress is NOT listed.
That site should not be treated as reference material. I consider it
harmful as the descriptions of the "quirks" are often confused (among
other things.)
Hi David,

That table gives a nice overview which browser supports which metakeys.
Allthough I never use quirksmode as a reference, its listings with
compatibilities are useful and pleasantly presented and easily understood.

Since the OP had troubles with support in different browser for the
keypress this seems like a good place to start reading.

Which website would you advise to look up this kind of information?


Depends on what kind you mean.

I mean the kind that says which browser(version) supports which metakey.


Quirksmode.org is okay for an overview
of (some) browser differences, just ignore the attempts at explanation.

I take your word for it their explanations are bad.
I possibly couldn't comment on that myself since I never used that site for anything else than quick compatibility lookups. ;-)

But if you have some other resource that collects this kind of information ('this kind' meaning: 'browser compatibility lists for a lot of stuff an every day webdeveloper needs'), I'll be glad to hear where to find it.
This quirksmode happens to be the only one I know of that has so much.

Erwin Moller
