Given that you had to search for this rather basic DOM knowledge, how can 
you be so sure now that it works, or be sure about the numbers?  With how 
many keyboards in how many browser versions on how many OSes on how many 
platforms have you tested this supposed solution?

Because of the differences in DOM implementations, handling keyboard events 
properly ranges among the most difficult tasks in DOM programming.  See for 
example

<http://brain4.de/programmierecke/js/tastatur.php#start>

And it is considered good style to present the solution that one has found 
by oneself to the community to make up for the free time of others, and for 
others to learn from it.  It is also considered good style on Usenet to not 
top-post.

bad branches can sometimes cause the whole tree to collapse.
