I'm puzzled on why this simple bit of code does not work. So to speak, dash() should be called everytime there has been a keychange. However, I'm getting a bunch of reference errors. I'm doing something wrong and I don't know what. 

<input type="text" class="auto" onkeypress="return dash(this)" width="200px">

function dash(e) {
     alert(e);
}

Essentially I'm trying to grab the text from the text box, then evaluate it, then change the value of the textbox after.

  • You have configured your fiddle in "onLoad" mode, so your `dash()` function resides in the scope of a `load` event handler, not in the global scope. Switch to "No wrap - in body" to fix your problem. – Frédéric Hamidi Jun 03 '14 at 15:10
  • @FrédéricHamidi How will this affect the code in prod? Do I need to put it in the body this way? – GivenPie Jun 03 '14 at 15:12

    In production you won't hopefully use inline event handlers. – JJJ Jun 03 '14 at 16:04
