Mika,
I've just seen some wacky behaviour with using that function on the
keyUp. If you type too quickly it skips adding the period. Also, if
you try to delete (backspace) after typing, you get into a loop or it
recreating the period. However, if you hit backspace really quickly
you can get past it! :)
Something to watch out for!
Cheers
Niklas
