[thelist] javascript question

instead assigning the eventhandler to the document, assign it to 
specific input fields. That way you maintain control over where you want 
to apply this behaviour.

e.g.
<input type="text" onkeyup="handleKeys()">

no? Like most of us, I've only dabbled with key handling, so I might 
off-track here.
