Actually this is a correct JavaScript function. It commands the keydown 
event handler of the richtext element of the formulario form of the docuemnt 
to be executed. It does assume that such an event handler is defined.

In my last project I actually called onclick event handlers of radio buttons 
in such a way, but generally you'll hardly use it.

Yep, completely correct.
