Stumped... i need to call function when esc is clicked in fullscreen mode

Hey All,

I’m having a heck of a time trying to figure this issue out. I have a JS div that goes fullscreen when a certain button is clicked. I have another button that makes the div go back to it’s original size when clicked. Those are working fine. The issue is, when i’m in fullscreen mode and the “esc” key is clicked. it doesn’t shrink my div properly it tries to hold on to my fullscreen settings. What i’d like to do is call a function on the keyCode event 27 (which is a esc press).

My code looks like this:

if(event.keyCode == 27) {                    
    window.alert("should call this alert");
}

However, that code doesn’t trigger when in fullscreen mode. Ideas?
