How do I capture keystrokes on the web?
- by Sean
Using PHP, JS, or HTML (or something similar) how would I capture keystokes? Such as if the user presses ctrl+f or maybe even just f, a certain function will happen.

Ok, so is this correct, because I can't get it to work. And I apologize for my n00bness is this is an easy question, new to jQuery and still learning more and more about JS.
<script>
var element = document.getElementById('capture');
element.onkeypress = function(e) {
var ev = e || event;
if(ev.keyCode == 70) {
alert("hello");
}
}
</script>
<div id="capture">
Hello, Testing 123
</div>

Here is everything, but I can't get it to work:
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<style>
* {
margin: 0px
}
div {
height: 250px;
width: 630px;
overflow: hidden;
vertical-align: top;
position: relative;
background-color: #999;
}
iframe {
position: absolute;
left: -50px;
top: -130px;
}
</style>
<script>
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].onkeyup = function(e) {
var ev = e || event;
if(ev.keyCode == 70 && ev.ctrlKey) { //control+f
alert("hello");
}
}
</script>
<div id="capture">
Hello, Testing 123<!--<iframe src="http://www.pandora.com/" scrolling="no" width="1000" height="515"frameborder="0"></iframe>-->
</div>
