From: Rob Christiansen on 26 May 2010 19:39 When i press a key on the keyboard, the function returns the ASCII equivalent. That is the function i'm looking for. Can you give me a hint??? All i have so far is charCodeAt, but that's only good for already established strings. crazyswede *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

That is the function i'm looking for. Unicode, not ASCII (although the keys you're pressing probably have the same value in Unicode as the do in ASCII). > Can you give me a hint???

That is the function i'm looking for. If you just need the keycodes for "normal" keys like letters, take a look at this simple example: document.onkeydown = function (evt) { var evt = evt || window.event; alert(evt.keyCode); }; There are some browser and platform oddities where special keys and key combinations are involved. For the specifics, search the web for "onkeydown" and "onkeypress". In a few minutes, you'll probably also get a link to an article named "K is for Keyboard" ;) -- stefan
