Chrome problems

[vramdal]

Hi, this doesn't seem to work in Chrome (version 27.0.1453.116, Windows 7).

When entering the demo code into the Javascript console:

document.addEventListener("keydown", function(e){ console.log(e.type, e.key, e.char, e.shiftKey) })
document.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent("keydown", { key: "1", char: "!", shiftKey: true }))

... the console starts outputting

keydown undefined undefined false

... as if the key and char properties are not populated.

Is this perhaps related to https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16735 ?

Hi.
Do you try this demo is it working for you?

Can you do KeyboardEvent + "" in console and take a look is it not equal function KeyboardEvent() { [native code] }. If it does, it may indicate that the polyfill did not work. In this case, please run

(function( global ) {
    try {
        return (new global["KeyboardEvent"]( "keyup", {"key": "a"} ))["key"] == "a";
    }
    catch ( __e__ ) {
        return false;
    }
})( this ) 

in console and comment here the answer. If it true and KeyboardEvent + "" === function KeyboardEvent() { [native code] } the problem in my code. If it not the problem is somewhere else.

By the way, your case is working in my chrome currectly: http://clip.corp.mail.ru/clip/m198/1373747235-clip-50kb-xFUheGw5hJBc.png

Yes, that demo works, as in: The keydown and keyup columns reflect the key I'm pressing, but nothing happens in the keypress column (should it?). On that page, I can also paste

document.addEventListener("keydown", function(e){ console.log(e.type, e.key, e.char, e.shiftKey) })
document.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent("keydown", { key: "1", char: "!", shiftKey: true }))

and it outputs

keydown j j false
keydown f f false

etc.

When entering KeyboardEvent + "" I get the constructor code:

"function _KeyboardEvent( type, dict ) {// KeyboardEvent  constructor

etc.

So, everything seems to be working on that page. I'll have to check my code more thoroughly. Sorry about the noise.

keypress is deprecated so I decide not to polyfill it.

Sorry about the noise.

That's all right!
