This code is not working for me in Firefox(V21.0) but works in IE(V9,V10) and Chrome (V 27.0.1453.110 m)

Method cal:

<input type="text" id="txt1" class="search-bar-input"

                         onkeyup="handleKeyPress('btn1');">

Method definition:

function handleKeyPress(searchButtonId) {

   if (event.keyCode === 13) {

    alert(event.KeyCode);

    }

}

Error Message:

ReferenceError: event is not defined

if (event.keyCode === 13) {

Does anyone have any idea to solve the issue?

Use

<input type=text id=txt1 class=search-bar-input onkeyup=handleKeyPress(event, 'btn1');>

Then

function handleKeyPress(event) {

    event = event || window.event //For IE

    if (event.keyCode === 13) {

        alert(event.keyCode);

    }

}
