Javascript String.fromCharCode Case Sensitivity?
fromcharcode, javascript, string
Solution
Events like `keyup` and `keydown` will return 65 for both `a` and `A` (and also `true` for `event.shiftKey` if that key is held down).
The `keypress` event returns different keycodes for upper and lower case letters, so to get this working case sensitive you should use the `keypress` event, and `fromCharCode()` will return the correct letter, case sensitive.
Problem
I am simply listening for a keyup event of an input element and gather the results into a string like so ``` word=word+String.fromCharCode(key.keyCode); ``` The problem is that the word is in capital letters while I want it to be case-sensitive. For example if I type abcef my accumulated word becomes 'ABCEF' . Note - I need a pure javascript solution (no libraries..) Any thoughts?
