Please try the following code. It works for capturing key presses on
IE, Netscape, Opera 7, and somewhat quirkily with Opera 6 (numbers and
uppercase letters should work). For this to work with Mozilla etc,
perhaps a more DOM compliant code would be better (for some working
code check out this site: http://sniptools.com/jskeys)
CODE SAMPLE:
<html><head>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function keyHandler(e)
{
var pressedKey;
if (document.all) { e = window.event; }
if (document.layers) { pressedKey = e.which; }
if (document.all) { pressedKey = e.keyCode; }
pressedCharacter = String.fromCharCode(pressedKey);
alert(' Character = ' + pressedCharacter +
' [Decimal value = ' + pressedKey + ']');
}
document.onkeypress = keyHandler;
//-->
</script></head>
<body>Press any key on your computer now.</body></html>
