Your application is looking at the .keyCode and .charCode attributes; those have yet to be specified and they are not part of the appendix. Instead the appendix discusses the .keyIdentifier attribute. >Does the implementation have tables for every keyboard mapping and >every physical keyboard, and use those to map the codes coming from >the keyboard into the right identifier? I am not sure why an implementation of DOM Level 3 Events would, it seems to me the keyboard mapping happens at a lower level. Could you perhaps rephrase the question? -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
