controlling arrow keys

hi everybody;

i'm using this code to trigger functions with left and right arrow keys..

but they work even if the arrow keys pressed in input boxes.. is there any way to prevent this code to work when user presses the arrow keys in input boxes?




document.onkeydown = function(evt) {
evt = evt || window.event;
switch (evt.keyCode) {
case 37:
geri();
gostergeyaz();
break;

case 39:
ileri();
gostergeyaz();
break;
}
};

hii Ali Haydar

You can try to unbind and bind the document.onkeydown event depending on if the textbox has focus or not.

eg.
txtbox.onfocus = unbind the document.onkeydown function
txtbox.onblur = bind the document.onkeydown function

Hope this helps!

Cheers

document.onkeydown = function( e )
{
var evt = e || window.event,
srcElem = evt.target || evt.srcElement;

if( !/^(INPUT|TEXTAREA)/.test( srcElem.nodeName ) )
{
switch (evt.keyCode)
{
case 37:
geri();
gostergeyaz();
break;

case 39:
ileri();
gostergeyaz();
break;
}
}

};

thank you very much Logic Ali, fantastic.. :)
