Reset to default 5that digits and special characters should not be allowed to input in textbox...
Don't do this through keypress filtering. It's user-hostile, confusing, messes up other control keypresses and is easy to defeat by using other methods of input, such as copy/paste, drag/drop, form fillers, spellcheckers, IMEs...
Instead, have a warning that visibly directs the user when they've put something unexpected in, eg.:
<input type="text" name="T1" id="TX1"/>
<div id="TX1_help">
Please do not use numbers or ‘!’, ‘_’ or ‘#’ characters in this field.
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var tx1= document.getElementById('TX1');
var tx1help= document.getElementById('TX1_help');
function checkTX1() {
var isok= /^[^0-9_#!]*$/.test(tx1.value);
tx1help.style.display= isok? 'none' : 'block';
}
checkTX1();
// Re-check the field every time a key is pressed or other change event.
// To ensure it is still checked in a timely fashion in the case of
// non-keyboard events, add a timer as well.
//
tx1.onchange=tx1.onkeyup= checkTX1;
setInterval(checkTX1, 500);
</script>
You can use addEventListener for the event attachment if you want to, but be aware this won't work in IE<9, for which you would need the attachEvent model. (event.returnValue is specific to the IE attachEvent model and will not work with addEventListener, which uses event.preventDefault() instead.)
Try the following:
document.getElementById('TX1').addEventListener('keypress', function(event) {
if (event.keyCode == 13) {
handleKeyPress();
}
});
