Ya, but the user might just be holding the shift key and is intentionally entering capitol letters. The reality is that there STILL is no way to directly detect in a browser whether the capslock button is on/off.
However, I believe it is possible to deduce this logically depending on whether the shift key is depressed or not. I researched this in the past, and if I remember correctly the only event that CORRECTLY gives the keycode in upper/lower case is the onKeyPress event. IOW, during the onKeyDown and onKeyUp events the keycode ALWAYS gives capitol letters, regardless of what the user typed. So this solution is far from perfect because you can only do this detection when the user types a key... you can't warn them before they've even started typing. I don't think there is any way to logically deduce that when they hit caps lock button to turn it off, that they in fact did hit that button. So your warning won't go away until they start typing regular characters again. Also, your logic can't tell when they are entering non-alpha numeric keys, so your warning may stay even longer depending on their password. Do a google search for "javascript detect capslock" and you will find JS that you can easily convert to GWT code, but as I've explained, it's far from being very useful. Not to mention detecting the shift key might be quirky across browsers and OS's... I'm not sure. I just know that sometimes when I'm detecting keys and I've done my research on compatibility that not everything is consistently supported.
