Hi,
testing mainly nightly-Gecko/FF3 on WinXP: "BackSpace", "Tab", "Pause", "PageUp", "End", "PageDown", "Home", "Insert" "Delete" and F1-F12 dispatch also keypress With )-", a-zA-Z0-9 and "Space" Gecko uses .charCode with keypress to indicate the character code (keyCode is then 0) Gecko has the same keyCodes for '+' and '-' whether the key is used in numpad or in the main part of the keyboard. Seems like a bug in Windows-Gecko. In some cases also IE gives the same keyCode for keys in numpad and keys elsewhere (like with PgDown/Up, Home, End). On Linux keycodes with non a-zA-Z0-9 keys are quite different, but my keyboard settings are different than on Windows. Opera and FF show similar keyCodes on Linux. .charCodes are the same as on WinXP. On linux I did some testing also with Konqueror 3.5 (a bit old one, I know) and there I managed to get keyCodes like 65444 and -92 (that was with ยค) and keycode in keyup/down is often the same value as with keypress. Somehow it is using character code as key code, at least in some cases. Ctrl+Shift+(character key) is problematic. Safari and Opera UI interpret that as a command key, even if the functionality is bound to Ctrl+(character key) IE and FF don't have this problem. If there isn't functionality bound to Ctrl+Shift+(character key), Opera and FF dispatch similar events as with Shift+(character key), but event.ctrlKey is set to true. No text is added to <input>. IE and Safari behave differently. They have different .keyCode on keypress event than without Ctrl and in some cases keypress isn't dispatched at all. <input> doesn't get changed. -Olli Andrew Emmons wrote:
Hello WG, Regarding keyCode and charCode, we would like to request data for these commonly used event attributes across various implementations and platforms. The results should look like the following: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2006Nov/att-0047/keyCode-ie.htm, except that, where it is supported by the implementation, charCode is also tested. Please e-mail your results to this list, indicating the implementation and platform tested. You can use the following tools: http://www.w3.org/2002/09/tests/keys-cancel2.html, or http://people.w3.org/rishida/utils/keyevents/.
