[mapguide-users] can IE7 capture key presses?

[J Manafi]

I have some javascript set to capture key combinations, like shift+a or
ctrl+d, and then I set my function as the callback to the document onkeydown
events, like so:

document.onkeydown = myFunction;

parent.parent.mapFrame.onkeydown = myFunction;

In IE, if I open my taskPane script and do any work in there, I can capture
my key presses. However, if I open the context menu on the map and, let's
say, choose the selection icon, I no longer have the ability to capture keys
unless I click back in the taskPane. This works fine in firefox.

I'm  not entirely sure of all of the differences between firefox and IE, but
I was wondering if someone knew perhaps of a way to gain access to mapFrame
javascript events?

Thanks,

Jonathan
