"event.keyCode" does not return a proper value, whereas "event.charCode" does. They should be equivalent (?).

Browse the HTML given below. On entering any keyboard-character, the displayed
"keyCode" remains at 0. This should be equivalent to "charCode" (according to
documentation anyway...).
----------
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-15">
<script type="text/javascript">
function CharCheck(e)
{
document.frm.text.value = "keycode = " + e.keyCode + " charcode = " +
e.charCode;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="http://bladibla.cgi" name="frm">
<table border="0">
<tbody valign="top">
<tr>
<td>Text area input: </td>
<td><textarea rows="1" cols="60" wrap="soft"
onkeypress="CharCheck(event);"></textarea>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Text area output:</td>
<td><textarea rows="1" cols="60" wrap="soft" name="text"
onkeypress="CharCheck(event);"></textarea>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</form>
</body></html>

You'll probably find http://www.mozilla.org/editor/key-event-spec.html or
http://www.brainjar.com/dhtml/events/default4.asp more useful as documentation
for Mozilla key events. keypress sets charCode to the actual character produced
by one or more keys being pressed, keydown/keyup sets keyCode to a particular
key on the keyboard.
