Hello everyone,
is this a bug or a feature ?
$('someinputfield').addEvent("keypress",function(event)
{ alert(event.key); });
press "(". The alert will prompt "down".
Both "(" and ↓ (down arrow) have a key code 40, one is virtual
the second is unicode.
Mootools does not fire "keypress" on special keys excepted "Enter".
But in the code,
the special keys (Event.Keys) detection is always done, even in case
of keypress.
A quick fix on the Event object (at the beginning) :
var Event = new Type('Event', function(event, win){
(...)
if (type.indexOf('key') != -1){
var code = event.which || event.keyCode;
var key = Object.keyOf(Event.Keys, code);
if(key!='enter' && type=='keypress') key=null; /* fix for
special
keys */
if (type == 'keydown'){
var fKey = code - 111;
if (fKey > 0 && fKey < 13) key = 'f' + fKey;
}
if (!key) key = String.fromCharCode(code).toLowerCase();
}
(...)
I'm not sure this fix could have side effects...
Sadly, Mootools keeps the charCode inside Event.event.charCode, and
I'm nut sure it's well supported on all browsers.
Any comment will be grealty appreciated.
Christophe.
