         <p class="warning" id="keycode-charcode"><strong>Warning!</strong>  Legacy keyboard event implementations may include two additional attributes, <code>keyCode</code> and <code>charCode</code>.  The <code>keyCode</code> attribute indicates a numeric value associated with a particular key on a computer keyboard, while the <code>charCode</code> attribute indicates the <acronym title="American Standard Code for Information Interchange">ASCII</acronym> value of the character associated with that key (which may or may not be the same as the <code>keyCode</code> value) and is applicable only to keys that produce a <a class="def" href="#glossary-character-value">character value</a>.  In practice, <code>keyCode</code> and <code>charCode</code> are inconsistent across platforms and even the same implementation on different operating systems or using different localizations.  DOM Level 3 Events  does not define values for either <code>keyCode</code> or <code>charCode</code>, or behavior for <code>charCode</code>; content authors should use <a href="#events-KeyboardEvent-key"><code>KeyboardEvent.key</code></a> or <a href="#events-KeyboardEvent-char"><code>KeyboardEvent.char</code></a> instead, in conforming DOM Level 3 Events implementations.  <em>For more information, see the informative table in <a href="#keys-keyCode-charCode">Key values, keyCode, and charCode</a>.</em></p>
