event.keyCode not working in Firefox

I'm having a problem with a Login page I'm developing on ASP.net C#. The form works on IE, but not Firefox. Here's my sample:

<%@ Page Language="c#" Inherits="ClubCard.loginClubcard" CodeFile="loginClubcard.aspx.cs" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" >

            }

            .letras

            </div>
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

I'm noticing that in this part...

function ValidarEnter(src)
            {
                if (event.keyCode == "13")
                {
                    actLogin();
                }
            }

When I debug it on firefox, it just skips it. I have already tried to add window.event.keyCode... and also switch "13" with just 13... How could I work this around?

event.keycode was not supported by Firefox. Use event.which for firefox.

function checkKey(evt) {
  var keyID = (evt.charCode) ? evt.charCode : ((evt.which) ? evt.which : evt.keyCode);
  alert(keyID);
}

I was working on a project, when I faced the same issue. I did some RND and find out these 2-things;

  1. e.keyCode works fine with onkeydown() function, no matter the browser is Chrome or Firefox.

Here is good practices for both Chrome & Firefox.

// HTML (Note onkeydown() function here)
<input id="anyId" onkeydown="return myFunction(event)" type="text" />

// JavaScript for it
function myFunction(e) {
    var asciiValue = e.keyCode ;
    alert ("ASCII Value: " + asciiValue );   // ASCII of pressed key
    if(asciiValue >0){
       return true;
    }
    else{
       return false;
    }
}
  1. But if we use onkeypress() function in Firefox, then e.keyCode will not work. For this purpose, adopt var asciiValue= e.keyCode || e.charCode.
// HTML (Note onkeypress() function here)
<input id="anyId" onkeypress="return myFunction(event)" type="text" />

// JavaScript for it
function myFunction(e) {
    var asciiValue = e.keyCode || e.charCode ;   // It'll handle both Chrome & Firefox
    alert ("Ascii Value: " + asciiValue);    // ASCII of pressed key
    if(asciiValue>0){
       return true;
    }
    else{
       return false;
    }
}
