The decimal key (code 110) is supposed to load a Nyan cat video, but it doesn't work for me.

Do you have a full numpad? I can't type it on my laptop so I can't verify.

Yes, and I tried with num lock on/off. No luck.

It's due to different keycodes for the onKeyDown/onKeyUp and onKeyPress events, test here: http://www.asquare.net/javascript/tests/KeyCode.html
