Question

function onLoad() {
    eworkData.FieldByName('SearchReference').HTMLfield.onkeydown=function(evt)
    {
        var keyCode = evt ? (evt.which ? evt.which : evt.keyCode) : event.keyCode;
        if( keyCode == 13 )
        {
            eworkData.FieldByName('cmdSearch').HTMLfield.onfocus();
            eworkData.FieldByName('cmdSearch').HTMLfield.onclick();
        }
    };
    eworkData.FieldByName('SearchFirstName').HTMLfield.onkeydown=function(evt)
    {
        var keyCode = evt ? (evt.which ? evt.which : evt.keyCode) : event.keyCode;
        if( keyCode == 13 )
        {
            eworkData.FieldByName('cmdSearch').HTMLfield.onfocus();
            eworkData.FieldByName('cmdSearch').HTMLfield.onclick();
        }
    };
    // more controls
}

Is there a tidier way of doing this? Smaller compact code? I think in jQuery I could do

$("SearchReference, SearchFirstName").onkeydown(function() ....)

However, jQuery isn’t an option for me :o(

Try:

function onLoad() {
    var fields = ["SearchReference", "SearchFirstName"];
    for(var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
        eworkData.FieldByName( fields[i] ).HTMLfield.onkeydown=function(evt) {
            var keyCode = evt.keyCode;
            if( keyCode == 13 ) {
                eworkData.FieldByName('cmdSearch').HTMLfield.onfocus();
                eworkData.FieldByName('cmdSearch').HTMLfield.onclick();
            }
        };
    }
}
