Any help welcome!

Hi alexfusion


That's a Javascript thing, Let me see, I picked this up as a nice little (cross browser) key pressed event type thingy:

function keyPress(evnt)
{
if (document.layers) theKey = evnt.which;
else if (document.all) theKey = event.keyCode;
return (String.fromCharCode(theKey)!='¦')
}

I'm not a great Javascripter but maybe you can figure it out from that. Otherwise check with the guys over at the Javascript Forum. Hope you get it.
