* It seems to be useless to filter tab or enter keys in an input
element using any of the onkey* events. You may succeed in Firefox but
not in IE.
* onkeyup/down events are the only case in which all modern browsers
return the key code.
* onkeydown/onkeypress can be cancelled whereas onkeup cannot (see
MSDN and MDN for documentation)
* To retrieve the charCode, use the onkeypress event in IE/Opera -
other browsers will do (see http://www.quirksmode.org/js/keys.html)

some key codes: 8 = backspace; 9 = tab; 13 = carriage return (enter
or shift enter); 32 = space; 37 = left arrow; 38 = up
arrow; 39 = right arrow; 40 = down arrow.
