    <p>Below code works perfect in Chrome, Firefox, on IPhone, and even in third-party browsers on Android. However, when run within the native browser key events for special characters like Å, Ä, and Ö on my Swedish keyboard are simply not triggered.</p> <p>The example should only allow the user to enter a single character at a time. Works like a charm, unless I in android press keys like Å, Ä or Ö for which I can enter any number of characters.</p> <p>Here's a jsFiddle for any who wish to try it out: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/x7H6f/">http://jsfiddle.net/x7H6f/</a>. If u don't have special keys like my Swedish ones printed on your keyboard, characters like é (hold E) should do the "trick".</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"&gt; &lt;title&gt;Key Event test&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="a" name="test" /&gt; &lt;script&gt; document.getElementById("a").onkeypress = function(e) { e = e || window.event; var k = e.keyCode || e.which; this.value = String.fromCharCode(k); return false; } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>And no, keydown and keyup don't work either. Did I miss something, or is this a bug? It's horribly annoying when developing Swedish Apps in PhoneGap!</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <hr> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> As Manor says in his answer, the <code>input</code> event can be used. Here's a fiddle which demonstrates the differences between the <code>keypress</code>, <code>input</code>, and <code>change</code> events: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/Qxd76/">http://jsfiddle.net/Qxd76/</a> (use <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/Qxd76/show">http://jsfiddle.net/Qxd76/show</a> to view the result on a smartphone).</p>

    2. COI'm decently sure it's a bug in the native browser for android, which is what webviews are using. I haven't confirmed it, but I suspect it should be solved after version 4, as they've changed the browser to chrome after that?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
