            if(e.keyCode == 13)
            {
                save_fnc(x);
                e.preventDefault();
            }

        }

Answer 1

Use addEventListener() for attach the hanlder to element on particular event.

textbox1.addEventListener('click', function (e){
  if(e.keyCode == 13){
      save_fnc(this);
      e.preventDefault();
   }
})

For onclick you can directly use

 textbox1.onclick=function(e){
 //do required work
 }
