Anybody managing keyboard events on a browser?

Hola,

   I've been looking into on-screen keyboards (OSK) for alternative text 
entry in mobile devices and Jess suggested a while ago that this could 
be done through the browser. At that time I raised an eyebrow in 
disbelief, but after learning that Palm's new interface is 100% 
javascript and that Google are well on their way with their keyboard 
APIs 
(http://googleajaxsearchapi.blogspot.com/2009/06/introducing-virtual-keyboard-api.html), 
I think I should reconsider. In the long run though, I do need to expose 
events to the host OS to make them available to all applications. If 
anybody is already looking into this, I'd appreciate some advice or 
maybe I can help out?

cheers!
Jorge
