event.keyCode

[Matthias Knöchlein]

hi !!
I have the following problem :
Is there a function or a constant value to check if a keyCode is a key kile
"Shift", "Alt" or "F1".
I would like not to use this way :

if( window.event.keyCode != 9
&& window.event.keyCode != 16
&& window.event.keyCode != 17
&& window.event.keyCode != 18
&& window.event.keyCode != 20
)

You can use event.shiftKey and event.altKey, but the F1 key should be
captured by keyCode.

BTW, Mozilla provides a mapping for the keys, so you could do something
like:

if (evt.keyCode == evt.DOM_VK_F1)
alert('F1 is pressed');
