Javascript onkeypress delete or dot

Is there any way to find out if the user pressed the delete key or dot? It has the same keycode in FireFox.

Solution

  • According to Detecting keystrokes, it is possible, provided that:

    • you search for the keyCode (8 for delete) onkeydown/up, and
    • ignore both onkeypress and charCode (Especially if you consider the fact that IE does not fire keypressed event, only key up/down).
