onkey... event key capture

[Goose]

I am using a couple different onkey... event listeners in Javascript, i.e. onkeyup. When I hit some of these event listeners I want to know which key was actually hit. Here is my code now:

[code]
<input type="text" ... onkeyup="move_to_next(3, this, 'next_item_id');" />
[/code]

The move_to_next() function checks the [i]this[/i] element and if the length equals the first argument then it puts the focus on the element with the id of the last argument. What I really want to do now is conditionally move the focus depending on which keys are hit.

[b]Is there a way for me to pass which key was hit to my move_to_next() function?[/b]

Thanks in advance.

check out [url=http://www.breakingpar.com/bkp/home.nsf/0/CACEB633F995E9CE87256AFB00141646]this article[/url] on capturing keystrokes. if you couple this with what you're already doing, i'm sure you can come up with a workable solution ;)

So far I  haven't had any luck implementing this. If you can show me a working example that would be awesome. This site sort of explains the idea, but it would be really helpful, for me, to see how it is implemented.

Thanks. I am going to continue trying to make this work.

I guess I was searching for the wrong terms in google before I posted here because I wasn't getting good hits, but this time around I was much more successful. Basically this site has some semi-working functions that I think I can clean up and make work:

IE has an global event object that has keyCode... no idea about FF.
