Does anyone know why the Onkeydown() event does not work for delete and backspace key in IE? It works fine for number and character keys.

A: 

Are you sure? .. the following sees delete and backspace fine on IE:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function keypress(e)
{
    var keycode;
    if (window.event) // IE
    {
        keycode = e.keyCode;
    }
    else if (e.which) // Netscape/FF/Op
    {
        keycode = e.which;
    }
    alert(keycode);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
    <input type="text" onkeydown="return keypress(event)" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
