The Internet Explorer Event Model: New Keyboard Events - Doc JavaScript
New Keyboard Events
Internet Explorer 4.0x's new keyboard events are identical to those in Navigator 4.0x. Therefore, refer to Column 9's "New Keyboard Events" page for more information on the keydown
, keyup
, and keypress
events. However, due to differences in the event
object, you must use the following properties to discover what modifier keys were down when a key was pressed:
altKey
ctrlKey
shiftKey
The keyCode
property of the event
object holds the ASCII value of the character that was pressed. In our next column we'll show you how to put these properties and events to work.
