onkeypress not working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

is there any possibility of allowing keypress or keydown to work with caja?

I'm making an app with apps script HTMLService and want to be able to have a 
keyboard shortcut

Key events should work fine _except_ on the document itself because there are 
issues with making it possible to focus there. You should be able to use them 
on any form field, or any element made focusable using tabindex.

Simple example to test with:
<div onkeypress="this.textContent += ' '  + event.keyCode" tabindex="0">
    Click me and type
</div>​​

Thank you very much. Do you know if it is possible to then focus that element 
on page load so it works automatically? I can't seem to get this example to 
work:

No. Caja specifically does not allow guest content to steal focus from the host 
page, because that could be abused (not in the Apps Script case, I suppose, but 
it's a generic policy at the moment). However, you can use .focus() in reaction 
to any user event (e.g. a click on any element or the virtual document).
