for a demo of the same download the following file.. the source is in the html
<!--var keyCode = event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : event.which ? event.which : event.charCode;
/*
*
*var someVar = (...some condition to check...) ? valueIfTrue : valueIfFalse;
*
*the syntax has some extra details I'm not much familiar with.
*
*That's a compound statement - it uses two, nested, ternary operators. It's clearer when you add parentheses:
*
*So if the first test (event.keyCode) fails, the second value is used, which is itself the result of another ternary operator. If the second test (event.which) fails, the final value (event.charCode) is used.
*priority wise:
*event.keyCode>event.which>event.charCode
*
*/
var keyCode = (event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : (event.which ? event.which : event.charCode));

*For a demo of this pls paste the following code:
*Save as KeyCode.html and run.... :)
