document.onKeyPress
Description
The onKeyPress event handler specifies what should happen when any key is pressed when the Document object is in focus.
Example
In Listing 7.149, the script in the <head> of the document specifies a function to handle all KeyPress events in the document. To be able to do this, the document's captureEvents() method is used to capture all events of type Event.KEYPRESS. When any key is pressed within the page, the document's event handler generates an alert box notifying the user of the event.
