[Javascript] Q on events

why would it!? why do you expect it would or should?

BckSpace can't fire any event, inside DOM, backspace is resereved (browser 
dependant) for window navigation historyback(-1), [not sure if it triggers 
any event except pageExit], you can check for this with adequate onpageexit 
event or document.onUnload =alert('something') [did not have time to check 
for proper syntax, but you will get a hint on what to look for]

and while focus inside the form, can't trigger reserved instruction (the 
history.Back()), it simply stays mute I guess!
