Hi all,
I hope this is the right forum for this question ... I've included a
sample page
which demonstrates the problem.
I am trying to implement an autosuggest drop down box and have built one up
from an example on the web. It works in IE, Firefox, Ephiphany and to an
extent
in Opera. Unfortunately in Konqueror, the drop down box does not appear.
Does
anyone have any experience of writing these for Konqueror, or know of
any pitfalls
that one needs to be aware of? When I've tested what keyCodes are
returned when
pressing keys in the input, it comes back with 0 each time in Konqueror
but the
expected keys on the other browsers, so I suspect it is the way the
keyCodes are
being picked up that is the problem.
The keypresses on the text input are registered to the autoSuggest
object using
this.textbox.onkeydown = function (oEvent) {
if (!oEvent) oEvent = window.event;
oThis.handleKeyDown(oEvent);
};
(where oThis is a reference to an AutoSuggestControl object) etc for
other key presses,
and the autoSuggest object handles these as ...
AutoSuggestControl.prototype.handleKeyUp = function (oEvent) {
var iKeyCode = oEvent.keyCode;
// alert(iKeyCode);
if (iKeyCode == 8 || iKeyCode == 46)
this.provider.requestSuggestions(this, false);
if (iKeyCode < 32 || (iKeyCode >= 33 && iKeyCode <= 46)
|| (iKeyCode >= 112 && iKeyCode <= 123)) {
//ignore
} else {
this.provider.requestSuggestions(this);
}
};
When I check the keyCodes here they are 0 in Konqueror.
How can you extract the keys from events in Konqueror and on what elements?
Does anyone have any good sources for event programming on Konqueror, in
particular picking
up key presses?
Thank in advance for any pointers
Regards
Neill Jones

In Konqueror, the key presses for up down and enter arrows are not registered (all key presses come
back with a keyCode of 0). Is this because Konqueror only registers keyCodes on text inputs (and the key
presses are on the divs of the drop-down box)? Does anyone know of any other methods that also work with
Konqueror? (Tested on Konqueror 3.5.4).
