[spam]::[Ietab] Lawson portal somehow doesn't make Login button sensitive

[Karr, David]

If it helps, I've been able to narrow this down to specific javascript
event processing that works in IE, but is not happening in IETab in
Firefox.

There is a line in the HTML somewhat like this:

  <input type="password" name="_ssoPass" value="" onkeyup="keyPress();"
size="17" maxlength="50">

When I execute this in IE, the "keyPress()" function gets called when I
press a key.  When I execute it in IETab, it never gets executed.  When
I instead changed the line to this:

  <input type="password" name="_ssoPass" value=""
onkeypress="keyPress();" size="17" maxlength="50">

The page works the same in both IE and IETab.

Note that I don't have the option of changing the real code to use
"onkeypress" instead of "onkeyup".  It's provided by a vendor company
(Lawson).
