Netscape6 and the KeyCode

I've got the following code in a .js file. I use it to validate a keypress event on a form posted on the web. I've chopped most of the code out of it because I want one specific problem answered.

function kp_character(e)
{
alert(e.keyCode);
}

Now then, when I hit the back key I get a value of '8', which is expected. If I hit delete I get a value of '46' (if I remember correctly), which is also expected. For some reason, ALL other number and alpha keys give me a value of '0'. The fact it comes up zero is a bad thing since I'm expecting a keycode value.

Why, oh WHY am I not getting typical keycode values?

Thanks

are you changing them to lower case in your function. I seen a script that uses the keys to laod documents in an Iframe and it was changing them to lowercase. I might be mistaken also.

I don't change the case. For any letter I press I get a "0" value wether it is lower or upper case. The same is true for numbers.
