Firefox 23 - Key Event dosen't work
After I installed firefox 23 javascript function used to make a mask entry fields stopped working. Until version 22 function worked.
MaskInput = function(f, m){
function mask(e){
var patterns = {"1": /[A-Z]/i, "2": /[0-9]/, "4": /[À-ÿ]/i, "8": /./, "16": /^[-]?(\d{0,99})?$/ },
rules = { "a": 3, "A": 7, "9": 2, "C":5, "c": 1, "*": 8, "0": 16};
function accept(c, rule){
for(var i = 1, r = rules[rule] || 0; i <= r; i<<=1)
if(r & i && patterns[i].test(c))
break;
return i <= r || c == rule;
}
var k, mC, r, c = String.fromCharCode(k = e.key), l = f.value.length;
(!k || k == 8 ? 1 : (r = /^(.)\^(.*)$/.exec(m)) && (r[0] = r[2].indexOf(c) + 1) + 1 ?
r[1] == "O" ? r[0] : r[1] == "E" ? !r[0] : accept(c, r[1]) || r[0]
: (l = (f.value += m.substr(l, (r = /[A|9|C|\*]/i.exec(m.substr(l))) ?
r.index : l)).length) < m.length && accept(c, m.charAt(l))) || e.preventDefault();
}
for(var i in !/^(.)\^(.*)$/.test(m) && (f.maxLength = m.length), {keypress: 0, keyup: 1})
addEventMask(f, i, mask);
};
addEventMask = function(o, e, f, s){
var r = o[r = "_" + (e = "on" + e)] = o[r] || (o[e] ? [[o[e], o]] : []), a, c, d;
r[r.length] = [f, s || o], o[e] = function(e){
try{
(e = e || event).preventDefault || (e.preventDefault = function(){e.returnValue = false;});
e.stopPropagation || (e.stopPropagation = function(){e.cancelBubble = true;});
e.target || (e.target = e.srcElement || null);
e.key = (e.which + 1 || e.keyCode + 1) - 1 || 0;
}catch(f){}
for(d = 1, f = r.length; f; r[--f] && (a = r[f][0], o = r[f][1], a.call ? c = a.call(o, e) : (o._ = a, c = o._(e), o._ = null), d &= c !== false));
return e = null, !!d;
}
};
removeEventMask = function(o, e, f, s){
for(var i = (e = o["_on" + e] || []).length; i;)
if(e[--i] && e[i][0] == f && (s || o) == e[i][1])
return delete e[i];
return false;
};

After I debug the code I found the solution, in Firefox 22 e.key works but in Firefox 23 this attribute does not work, then switched e.key by e.charCode

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.

Thanks for the reply, but I would like to know if there are any bug in the FF23 Key Event, because the behavior change in the last version ?
The same javascript is used since Firefox 3, only now started to not work.
I might be necessary to define functions before referencing to them, so you can try to define addEventMask() before function mask(e) which calls this function.
You can check the Browser/Error Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+J) for errors.
