Hi Evertjan:

    Here is what I started with below

    It still shows undefined for el.onKeyPress.

    Any more guidance please ?

Thank you for responding.

-Mel Smith


*************    my original code *******
function setonpress() {
var el ;
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input") ;

// now we have to add a keypress function to each of them
for (var i=0;i<=inputs.length;i++) {
   el = inputs[i] ;
   if (el.type === "text") {
      window.alert("type of el.onKeyPress = "+ typeof el.onKeyPress) ;   // 
always results in 'undefined'
       // I wish the focusOnElement function to be 'planted' in each of my 
50+ text fields
       // and I don't what to have to type them in.
      el.onKeyPress = focusOnElement ;    // so this craps out :((
      return true;      // get out on 1st field for testing purposes.    // 
I leave quickly while testing
      } ;
   }
}
