The JavaScript equiv of chr(65)..'A'
I have a var foo=65 I want to put 'A' into another var
in vb, is simple:
Dim X as String * 1
Dim Foo as Integer
X=chr(Foo)
in c, is simple:
char X;
int Foo=65;
X=(char)foo;
in javascript:
var X;
var Foo;
Foo=65;
X=?
in vb, is simple:
Dim X as String * 1
Dim Foo as Integer
X=chr(Foo)
in c, is simple:
char X;
int Foo=65;
X=(char)foo;
in javascript:
var X;
var Foo;
Foo=65;

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Unfortunately, this will only work on 4.0+ browsers (tested on IE)
Perhaps other experts might have some other solution..hmm. I couldn't find any.

Geeez.. PBall my man! helluva lot easy than what I just set out to do.. :)
var alphabet=" !'#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:
if((iKey<32)||(iKey>127)) return;
X=alphabet.charAt(iKey-32)
on older browsers I just may use this, or not support them.
I tried to use that earlier, though it was used somestring.fromCharCode(n)
Tested your's, works great on NS and IE, except (and now this is optional) :
event.keyCode on IE always returns the UpperCase value.. 65 for 'a' 65 for 'A'
I'd like to know the case if possible.
If you don't know, or care to answer within this thread, comment back and I'll accept your answer as is
Thanks

I heard that it was a "state math incompetency tax".
Yes it does, depending on what event you are detecting it, the keyCode will return different things.
for example:
onKeyPress will return both (A = 65, a = 97)
but when you trap onKeyUp or onKeyDown it will just return the scancode (A = 65, a = 65)
give that a try.
Heh, actually that's not bad at all (the way you are trying to detect it). You can somewhat use that solution to build your own chr function for non 4.0 browsers :)

Unfortunately, I need to use the onKeydown, as I need to trap on that elusive chr(13)!.. and onKeypress in a text box.. nada.
The alphabet function above demonstrates further the frustration of IE and NS, NS sends lowercase on keydown, IE does not, NS skips a few key codes though.. the \ and one other, IE doesn't skip, so you would need to have an alphahabet defined unique to each browser.
bleagh :(

further oddity:
<input name="Foo" value="" Size="18" onKeydown="return handleKey(event)">
in NS if handlekey returns false, the keystroke is cancelled, in IE, it lives!
