Getting All Keyed Up II

You can now see keys being pressed and released!

Key pressed: with keyboard modifiers

Discussion

By capturing onKeyDown and onKeyUp events, you can cause script responses that occur only as long as a key is held down. In this script, we just clear the form whenever we detect that a key has been released.

One interesting feature about this event set is that if your onKeyDown handler returns false, JavaScript won't generate KEYPRESS events. (If you're already getting events via KEYDOWN handlers, you probably don't want to see KEYPRESS events anyway!)
