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" > 
<html>
    <head>
        <title>
            Acceso Clubcard
        </title>

        <meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=0.25)" />
        <meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="blendTrans(Duration=0.25)" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">

        <style>
            #centered
            {
                LEFT: 50%;
                MARGIN-LEFT: -235px;
                POSITION: absolute;
                TOP: 150px
            }

            .letras
            {
                FONT-SIZE: 10pt;
                COLOR: white;
                FONT-FAMILY: Arial
            }

            .cajas
            {
                FONT-SIZE: 10pt;
                FONT-FAMILY: Arial
            }

            .letrasGris A
            {
                FONT-SIZE: 12px;
                COLOR: #8f8f92;
                FONT-FAMILY: Arial;
                TEXT-DECORATION: none
            }

            .highlightit IMG
            {
                FILTER: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=100);
                -moz-opacity: 1
            }

            .highlightit:hover IMG
            {
                FILTER: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=50);
                -moz-opacity: 0.5
            }
        </style>

        <script language="javascript">            
            function actLogin()
            {

            }

            function actFocus()
            {
                tbxPrincipal = document.getElementById("tbxUsername").focus();

                }
            }

            function AbrirLogin() 
            {

            </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);
}
