It used to work but now I get a:

window.event is undefined

From this simple code that used to work:

function checkKey() {   
    if (window.event.keyCode != 9) {    
        document.actionForm.saveStatus.value = "Not saved";
    }
}

Why can’t I use window.event anymore?

    window.event is a proprietary Microsoftism.

    The standard way to access data about an event is via the first argument of the event handler function.
