Q1425 Does the window.event.keyCode and the e.which not give 13 in both browsers when the enter key is pressed in a form field?

For some reason I thought this didn't work in Netscape - and it doesn't on Linux with text form fields, but it does on Linux with a textarea:
<head>
<script language="JavaScript1.2"><!--
function netscapeKeyPress(e) {
if (e.which == 13)
document.testForm.submit();
}
function microsoftKeyPress() {
if (window.event.keyCode == 13)
document.testForm.submit();
}
if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape') {
window.captureEvents(Event.KEYPRESS);
window.onKeyPress = netscapeKeyPress;
}
//--></script>
</head>
<body onKeyPress="microsoftKeyPress()">
<form name="testForm">
Lots of text form fields:
<br><input type="text">
<br><input type="text">
<br><input type="text">
<br><input type="text">
<br><input type="text">
<br><input type="text">
<br><input type="text">
<br>And a textarea:
<br><textarea></textarea>
