OnKeyPress event doesn't work in netscape?

This code works perfectly in IE, but does not work in Netscape 7....It
is designed to force the user to only enter numbers into a textbox. I
also want to allow them to tab over the box as well as handle an enter
key press while they are in the textbox. Here is the code.....

OnKeyPress="javascript:if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1)
{var keyCode = event.keyCode;}else {var keyCode = event.which;}if
(keyCode > 47 && keyCode < 58 || keyCode==8 ||
keyCode==9){return true;} else{return false};" /></td>
</tr>

anyone give me any insight into why this will not work in Netscape? if
you can please e-mail me directly.....

Thanks in advance

Hiya,

By the way, this is a Java group. You should probably have posted this
question in comp.lang.javascript.
