onkeydown broken firefox 9
Since auto updating to firefox 9.0.1 the javascript body event onkeydown seems broken I have the following function call in a body tag and key presses are not accessing the keyreader function at all <body onload='cms_init();' onkeydown='keyreader(event);'>

I have the same problem with either onkeydown, onkeyup, and onkeypress events on the body tag. All my functions that uses key events on body tag stopped working in firefox 9.0.1
A good place to ask advice about web development is at the MozillaZine "Web Development/Standards Evangelism" forum.
The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.

I think the failure of firefox 9 to respect key events on the body tag is actually an issue with the firefox code base rather than an issue with the XHTML validated script within the page that the problem occurs in. The purpose of presenting the question here was to attempt to direct the developers attention to the issue. It would seem that changes to the browser code have now made a valid body attribute none functional
