How to add onkeydown to body?

Question

In my index.html I have this code. I would need to add onkeydown event to that body in Main.onLoad().

Any idea how to do it?

Answer 1

In a Javascript block, try to use window.onkeydown (MDN).

You can also use document.onkeydown and document.body.onkeydown.

Here is an example for you:

JavaScript

document.body.onkeydown = function(e){
    alert(String.fromCharCode(e.keyCode)+" --> "+e.keyCode);
};

The code above can be put in any valid JavaScript block (such as Main.onLoad() function).
