Hi,
Thank you for the browser detection tips, Rob ;-)
Ryan, thanks for your help.
In fact, I was using a french keyboard (You would probably ask why.
It's simply because I am one ;-)
And in the french keyboard, there are more characters and the non
standard ASCII characters are not well
managed by the Event.connect method.
Just for information, I have tested with dojo (dojo.event.connect),
just to try and it works....
Thank you for your comments.
Bye....
