Hi,

i need to get value of a INPUT of type TEXT in real time. So i assigned to onkeyup of the INPUT to my function, that evaluates the new value.

It works fine on BB (i use 9780/OS6 for tests) except, that BACKSPACE-Key doesn't fire the event.

Here there's an example of code.

may be you have an idea, how to solve it.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Same problem with 9800/OS6.
I can make a workaround with setInterval(), but I'd like a better solution if there is any.

Same problem here: Backspace key does not trigger onKeyUp event in WebWorks for PlayBook OS 2.0.

Edit: Actually, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.

in my Now Serving App my code is as follows : onkeypress="{if (event.keyCode==13) callFunction(this.form)}"

keycode 13 is enter... maybe you should try that?

Intercept an additional event only for the Del key as backup... Good idea, I'll give it a try.

Nope, still behaving randomly. The text is deleted when I press BACKSPACE but for some reason the events are not triggered.

I am running into this problem as well. Has anyone come up with a solution?

Thanks,

I'm using jQuery on PlayBook. Any workarounds for this?

Here is a description of the symptoms I am seeing:

* When I type in the <textarea>, the .keyup event triggers correctly for all letters pressed. This includes the space bar.

* When I press the Backspace key, the .keyup event does not trigger. I tried to trap the .keyup event using $(document).keyup but that didn't catch the Backspace key either.

* If the <textarea> is empty and I press the Backspace key once more, the .keyup event triggers.

* When I trace using Web Inspector, the Event Listener Breakpoint for Keyboard.keyup does trigger when I press the Backspace key, but it is not captured by either $(document).keyup for the <textarea>.keyup.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
