[Javascript] looking for HACK for events

[BEKIM BACAJ]

Fine explication, but I still stand blurred.

So you'd like to have them both (these scripts), working in the same page.

That's good.

Thank's to the event designers, the on-key user action fires three events: 
onKeypress; onKeydown; onKeyup.
[sorry but I don't recall if the onKeyUp enterfers with the onKeypress, but 
if it don't you can use them toghether, one for the first, the other for the 
second script]

or the other way, - wrap them.

function statusDisplay(){
            statusFunct();  textAreaFunct()
                                }
onkeypress=statusDisplay

and U-re done

Both get called and both get executed simul



OK
