onKeyPress fails in Opera 9.25

Hi Alex,

The following code gives an alert with the key pressed in FireFox and IE.
However, there's no alert in Opera.

var obj = new AW.Grid.Extended;

obj.setCellText(function(i, j){return j + "." + i});

obj.setHeaderText("header");



obj.setColumnCount(10);

obj.setRowCount(100);



obj.setCellEditable(false);



obj.onKeyPress = function(event) {



    var key = String.fromCharCode(event.keyCode || event.charCode);

    alert(key);



}



document.write(obj);

This is a bug in AW - onKeyPress event does not work in Opera. It will be fixed in the next release, and in the meantime you can use the following code -

obj.setEvent("onkeypress", function(event){

    var key = String.fromCharCode(event.keyCode || event.charCode);

    alert(key);

});
