Is anyone able to capture the keydown event (or any of the key events) while the user is typing in a text box on HTML forms? I was able to capture this event when the HTML forms opened in a new window, but when they are embedded into Centricity, it appears that this event is being caught at parent window level and not sent through. The ability to embed HTML forms was added with CPS 12.2.

Hi Mike,
We (at Blackbird) had come across this issue too, and reported it to GE a while back. They seem to be doing what they can to get the fix into an upcoming service pack, but no guarantees. It's ironic that the Enter Key (and tab) has been fixed, but we've now lost all other keyboard events. We've had to adapt to using the Enter key, and focus/blur to drive content, but it still leaves many gaps.

Thank you for your quick response. I'm currently verifying data through on change/blur, which works but isn't as responsive to the user. Do you happen to have an SR # or anything that I could hinge off of to add our health group to?

No, I don't have an SR#, though, not sure they would generate one since HTML is still not formally supported. Regardless, I'm optimistic it will be resolved as they are leveraging HTML more and more, and will certainly need keyboard events too.
