The onkeypress event
The onkeypress event is triggered when the user both presses a key down and also lets the key back up again—just for completeness’s sake.
✓ Tip
If you’re not sure what the key values are for a particular key, you can find out by putting the line alert(thiskey); in between the lines of code in steps 5 and 6, then, press the key for which you want to find the value. The alert box contains the numeric key value.
