keyboard events in JavaScript are a mess, because each browser has its
own handling and fires different events fro the same key strokes.
With the advent of DOM Level 3 Events, we can hope they converge to a
single interoperable model, but in the mean time, this is a mess:
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/keyset.html (replace textInput
with keypress it almost perfectly describes Internet Explorer's model)
Have a look to issue 3753
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=3753
and follow the links I gave there.
In the "ideal model", the "delete" key shouldn't generate a keypress
event, and should therefore only be detectable in keydown and keyup
events; and there, a dot would have a different key code than delete
(actually, there would be different codes depending on whether you
used the dot key from the numpad or not, or use a Alt+046 combination
on Windows –using the numpad–)
