Hi, all,
I learned how to have a browser respond to keypress events by reading the 
O'Reilly JavaScript guide.  However, I discovered that, while the keypress 
events work as expected in Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator doesn't 
respond to the events *IF* the mouse happens to be over an image or over 
text at the time that the key is pressed.

I have a simple test that illustrates this effect.  The address is

Does anyone know a workaround for this?  Thanks in advance for any help.
