onKeyPress Firefox / IE differences

[Brian Glick]

In case my hours of pain can be of help to someone else, it appears
that the onKeyPress is called differently from IE and Firefox.

In IE, you don't seem to receive events for navigation type keypresses,
like tabbing between fields, but in firefox you do.

In my situation, i was trying to only allow numbers to be typed into a
field and I had the following validation:

public void onKeyPress(Widget sender, char keyCode, int modifiers) {
if(!Character.isDigit(keyCode)) {
cancelKey();
showBadTextIndicator();
}
}

This worked fine in IE and the user could still tab to the next field,
but in order to allow the tab key in Firefox to work, I had to change
the condition to the following

!Character.isDigit(keyCode) || Character.isLetterOrDigit(keyCode)
