Capture keyPress event for iframe when in design Mode

Code:

 
<iframe designMode='On'  id="message" style="width: 675px; height:150px" > </iframe>

I'm using IE. Is it possible to capture key events for the iframe. I've tried everything I can think of and nothing works.
I've tried doing it with java script and with html in the containing page and my method is not called. I've tried making an html page for the iframe and setting it with java script and html in that page and my method is not called.

Yes, it's possible.

It might not work because you are trying to set up the event handlers in the iframe html mark-up. It should work if you include this source in the src file of your iframe:

Code:

<html>
<head>
   <title></title>
</head>
<body onload="Init()">
   <script>
      function Init() {
         document.onkeydown = function(e) {
   
         }
         document.onkeypress = function(e) {
           
         }
      }
   </script>
</body>
</html>
