A quick look shows it seems to be right for alpha-numeric characters, but doesn't handle some of the special characters, like return, shift, tab, backspace etc. I know there is some oddness with various browsers reporting different values for charCode and keyCode based on what event you are listening to (keypress, keydown, keyup), and in the example I am using keyCode values, and I typically use the keyup event. Definitely worth checking out if it can simplify the process some though, thanks for the heads up, let me know what you find as well. To be honest, I wasn’t aware of that function.
