 "basic DOM knowledge" and then "most difficult tasks in DOM programming" 
???
Which one is it ? That's why I come here after google shows me so many dead 
end.

I mostly pretend to do .net asp, but I just need this jscript this time

I google with 'event.keycode' to come up with

{
if(window.event) // IE8 and earlier
 {
 keynum = e.keyCode;
 }
else if(e.which) // IE9/Firefox/Chrome/Opera/Safari
 {
 keynum = e.which;
 }

It works, that's all I know
