Discussion
The onKeyPress event fires when the user presses a key on the keyboard that produces a character value, such as a letter, number, or punctuation. Keys that do not produce a character, such as shift and alt, will not trigger the onKeyPress event.
The event fires after the onKeyDown event. You can add Action Javascript, custom JavaScript, or sever-side Xbasic to execute one or more actions to this event.
For more information about keyboard events, see Mozilla's documentation on KeyboardEvents or the developer documentation for your favorite web browser.
