...and as for the problem you're having. Yep, 'tis a very annoying problem.
Can you clarify, though, when the keycode is different? Is it always
different, or only for capital letters? Because my problem with this was
related to getting the same keycode for a letter, regardless of typing a
capital letter or not. They want you to check the modifiers to see if the
shift key was also depressed and deduce on your own whether or not it should
be capital (which of course doesn't take in to account whether or not the
capslock key is on). Anyway... the answer, unfortunately, is to not use
Event.observe, but attach the handler directly like this (thus bypass the
new W3C event model)...
field.onkeypress = maskKeyPress;
The above is the same result as attaching the handler inline.
This is certainly not an ideal thing to do, but, it does work.
