[thelist] capturing key combination CTRL+8 with Dom

[Scott Blanchard]

I need to fire a function when someone enters CTRL+8. I can do it in IE
fine, but Netscape 7 does not respond. Here's my code:

document.onkeypress=checkHandles;

function checkHandles(){
    if(window.event.ctrlKey && window.event.keyCode == 56){
        alert("bingo");
    }
}


Is there a way to do this that is cross platform and works with all
getElementById browsers ???
