RE: [Rails-spinoffs] event.keyCode broken in prototype?

[Ryan Gahl]

<input type=”text” />   The above returns “g” when “g” is pressed and “G” when “G” is pressed.   WHILE…   <input type=”text” id=”tb” />   someClass = Class.create(); someClass.prototype = {             initialize: function()             {                         Event.observe($(“tb”), “keypress”, this.showkeyPressed.bindAsEventListener(this) );             },               showKeyPressed: function(evt)             {                         alert(String.fromCharCode(evt.keyCode));             } };   …returns “G” all the time when the g key I pressed, no matter what. (Simplified example of course)   For some weird reason, the event object from proto’s bindAsEventListener method is always returning the capitalized keyCode of the key that was pressed.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Gregory Hill Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 3:07 PM To: rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org Subject: RE: [Rails-spinoffs] event.keyCode broken in prototype?   Code?  Can’t help much without seeing what you’re doing.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ryan Gahl Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 1:48 PM To: rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org Subject: [Rails-spinoffs] event.keyCode broken in prototype?   I ran 2 tests. One using proto’s Event.observe, and another using an in-line handler of the “keydown” event in a textbox.   Using .bindAsEventListener, the event.keyCode is always returning a capital letter, no matter what. The in-line event handler returns lowercase vs. uppercase correctly… What’s going on?   I guess I find it hard to believe no one has tried capturing keyboard events before, so I’m hoping I’m just royally screwing something up. Can anyone help me on this?
