Hi:

Enviro:  >50 input text fields

Question:  How does one set _programmatically_ in javascript, the onKeyPress 
event listener ??

I tried a couple of statements (something like el.onKeyPress = myfunction() 
;  and "myfunction", etc, etc.

Everything craps out and I don't know Where in my JavaScript Bible to look 
for the answer ??

A Hint please ??

Thank you
