Hi, there,
I have a XUL dialog with default 'Cancel' button and the event
handler to response to the click of that button. Well, the 'ESC' key
will also trigger the same handler after doing something else. So I'd
like to know what else happens when I press the 'ESC' key.
Is there any tool (like venkman or any other extension) can help to
get those information? It will also be helpful if there's any runtime
option which can enable output in console.
Thanks.

Both pressing the Cancel button and pressing the Esc key should result
in the same thing, except that the former occurs as a result of a
command event and the latter as the result of a key event.
Hi, Neil,
Thanks for the feedback. But in my test, if I map handler to the
button event by setting dialog attribute ondialogcancel="doCancel
();", it'll be called just once when I click the button. But if I map
the key handler with the code below, then the "doCancel" function
will be called twice if I press the ESC button. So they are not
exactly the same, I assume.
Thanks.
Calvin
P.S. I tested on ff3b5pre, will test on ff2.

You shouldn't be adding your own key handler. The dialog will handle the
escape key for you.
