JavaScript listener, “keypress” doesn’t detect backspace?

by

KeyPress event is invoked only for character (printable) keys, KeyDown event is raised for all including nonprintable such as Control, Shift, Alt, BackSpace, etc.

UPDATE:

The keypress event is fired when a key is pressed down and that key normally produces a character value
