Keypress Events for a Mac (FireFox)

[Deltran]

I am having some issues getting FireFox on a Mac to recognize that the control and shift keys have been pressed. The same code that I am using for FF/IE on Windows doesn't capture control and shift for some reason, although it does capture other events (like spacebar).

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if keypress events on control keys are supported very widely, but is the keypress what you really need? Don't you want to know whether a particular control key is pressed at the point when another key event happens?

If so, there are event properties for it - "ctrlKey", "shiftKey", "altKey" and "metaKey" [the command key on a mac, and afaik not assigned on windows], which are true or false by whether that key is pressed (or locked, iirc, such as from shift-lock)

If not, can you expand on what you're actually trying to do?

That sounds like what I want to do. Thanks for letting me know they exist!
