    what error you got ? please post your code so that we can help you better to resolve the issue
    Generally firefox handles such event in different pattern
    Instead of using window.event, you should add a parameter to the function signature
    see below snippet

    function SearchName(txtObj,selObj,e)
    {
    var keyPressed;
    if(window.event)
    keyPressed = window.event.keyCode; // IE
    else
    keyPressed = e.which; // Firefox
    <input type="text" name="txt1" onKeyPress="SearchName(this,selList,event)" value="<Type To Search>" onClick="javascript:this.value='';" style="width:200px;">
    }

    For key press event you may try to get the key code for key which you pressed.

    You can try the following code


    var keyCode = (window.Event) ? e.which : e.keyCode;
    if( keyCode == 13 ) // Check the key code
    {
    // Your code
    }

    Hai Chinnari,
    Yes, sometimes the window.event might not work so for that you can attach the event of the particular control rather than using the window event.
    There could be many ways to do this based on the control you are using.
    Below are the few links I am providing which is having the work around with some code snippet to do it:
