This can't be the JS Console because I see an Error in the JS Console :
Error: event is not defined
Source File: http://www.ismsbelgium.be/users/haardkoor/site.v2/lol.html
Line: 7

event.keyCode is not part of the W3C DOM Specs and that makes this bug invalid

Mozilla's event model actually has "keyCode" property.
The real problem is a difference in how event objects are accessed.
(window.event vs event-as-an-argument)
