I can not figure out how to capture keyboard events on the Blackberry using JavaScript. If you know how, please post a comment !

I created a web app that lets you navigate around a map. The interface needed “north”, “south”, “east”, and “west” to move around. Using URL links was awkward so I wanted to use JavaScript to use the number keypad for navigation - “2″ would move north, “4″ would move west, etc.

It works fine on a PC browser and it works on the Treo (the only other device I was able to test with) but the Blackberry grabs all the keyboard input and tries to do “device stuff” with it.

If you are interested, here is my test page.

Suggestions or pointers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
