  1. Are you sure? .. the following sees delete and backspace fine on IE:

    <html> <head> <script type='text/javascript'> function keypress(e) {     var keycode;     if (window.event) // IE     {         keycode = e.keyCode;     }     else if (e.which) // Netscape/FF/Op     {         keycode = e.which;     }     alert(keycode); } </script> </head> <body> <form>     <input type='text' onkeydown='return keypress(event)' /> </form> </body> </html>
