 --> (https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=34583)
test case html file

The scenario:
Event listeners are attached to the document for keydown, keypress, and keyup
events. In the attached file, input_document.html, watch the console for
evidence of the events fired from inside an text input.

When "1"  is pressed:
onkeydown charCode = 0
onkeypress charCode = 49 
onkeyup charCode = 0

When DELETE is pressed:
onkeydown charCode = 0
onkeyup charCode = 0 
(note the missing onkeypress)

Other observations:
This behavior does not change when the listeners are attached to the text
input.
Safari 3 reports all three events: onkeydown, onkeypress, onkeyup when the
DELETE key is pressed.
