Many of the keyboard events are now captured but when using some of them, the default browser action is also fired. For example, submitting with the F3 key works, but it also launches the browser's "Find" dialog. Submitting with the F2 key works, but it also launches the browser's "Help" dialog. These are just 2 examples of this occurring, there are more. Is this expected behaviour?

I wonder if the jsEventListener should consume the event after it processes it? This might not stop the browser from doing what it wants though, in which case we should just use different keys for the example/demo and avoid any that have native browser functions.

Register callback with onkeydown instead of onkeypress event to make sure all the keys are captured. Browsers like Chrome and IE will not fire keypress events for keys that are meant to control the browser.
