IN the article :
thread216-417208 is a method for detecting if the user presses the enter key, as in the code below :

<script>
function checkKey(what){
what=window.event;
if (what.keyCode==13){alert('You pressed Enter!')}
else
alert('Not the right password')
}
document.onkeypress=checkKey;
</script>

Note that the key code for Enter is 13 (i.e. The code for Space and so forth), does anyone know where the other key codes are available.
Any help would be much appreciated

Ask Internet Explorer --
Code: 
  var aK = new Array(2)
  aKClr()

function getKeyCode(state) { 
  aK[state] = event.keyCode
}

function aKShow() {
  alert(&quot;keyDown &quot;+aK[0]+&quot;\nkeyPress &quot;+aK[1]+&quot;\nkeyUp &quot;+aK[2])
  aKClr()
}

function aKClr() {
  for (var i = 0; i < aK.length; i++) {
    aK[i] = -1
    }
}

Code: 
<body onload=&quot;document.all.pcIn.focus();&quot;>
Type a key
<input type=&quot;text&quot; id=&quot;pcIn&quot; maxlength=&quot;1&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;
  onkeydown=&quot;getKeyCode(0);&quot; onkeypress=&quot;getKeyCode(1);&quot;
  onkeyup = &quot;getKeyCode(2);aKShow();this.value = '';&quot; />

Shows what the browser is seeing at KeyDown, KeyPress, KeyUp. 'Course if someone else grabs your keystroke (F1 belongs to IE, CTL+ALT+DEL gets Window's attention ...) then you get their response.

(I've had this for a while. Could probably update it using the DOM ...)
