Well, you look around on JavaScript.FAQTs.com on how to capture key
events:
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge-base/view.phtml/aid/1189/fid/145/lang/
and then you just need to define an array to which to add the keys when
the event occurs; the following is an example which displays the array
in the status bar
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
var capturedKeys = new Array();
if (document.layers)
document.captureEvents(Event.KEYPRESS);
document.onkeypress = function (evt) {
var key =
document.layers ? evt.which :
document.all ? event.keyCode :
(evt.which || evt.charCode || evt.keyCode);
if (key >= 32)
capturedKeys[capturedKeys.length] = String.fromCharCode(key);
window.status = capturedKeys;
return true;
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
