Yes, but it's complicated, so I suggest you read at least some of these:
http://www.quirksmode.org/js/contents.html#events http://www.brainjar.com/dhtml/events/ http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/jav...els.html?page=1 http://developer.apple.com/internet...ventmodels.html http://www.quirksmode.org/js/introevents.html http://www.javascriptkit.com/dhtmlt...eventp2-1.shtml Understanding IE's Event Model

You may also look for "Learn Javascript in 24 hours", it has several editions on the web but you have to often cut and paste it to a text file because the ads are badly placed and will not go away. They have an explaination of it in the Chapter Understanding Event Handlers (or something close to that depending on the edition) They also suggest skipping ahead in the book to the chapter on unobtusive scripting to help further with the concept. I am just now getting to that point in teaching myself so I can only refer my source, I hope it is helpful.
If you can't find it try under Sams Publishing you may find it there. I all else fails and you can't find it any other way send me a message and I will send you a way to get the info that I just don't want to broadcast to the world.

I found the barrier breaker!!!!!
Code:
function handleKeyPress(evt) {
var nbr;
var nbr = (window.event)?event.keyCode:evt.which;
alert(nbr);
return true;
}
window.document.onkeydown= handleKeyPress;
From:http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin...c&f=20&t=004843 heck yea!!!! lol colton22

Odd. The variable was declared twice.
keyCode is supported by more browsers than just IE/Win. I'd write it like this: Code:
function handleKeyPress(evt) {
evt = evt||window.event;
var nbr = (evt.keyCode)?evt.keyCode:evt.which;
alert(nbr);
return true;
}

alright, now i am trying a random idea...
i need to check if the SHIFT modifier is down or not, or if caps lock is active, i found out in FF it doesnt matter if shift is down or not, it returns the code for the capitalized letters instead of lowercase, can anyone help on this one? colton22

No there isn't a property to check that. Hence why I didn't mention it and why he wrote that script. Yes, it's complicated. Why does that matter?
