Details

VK_DELETE = 46 '.' = 46 There is no way to distinguish between these two key down events, because they both have the same key code. Shouldn't it be the case that character keys have a key code that indicates they are character input instead of action keys, and the actual character typed should be the char code? I can't find any documentation on DOM events, so if this isn't the way it should be, please let me know ASAP. This is a blocker because when ender is the text control, users will be unable to type in URLs in the URL bar because they can't type '.'
Steve, would this be a dup of bug 6896?
