Hi, total javascript/programming newb here
I’m trying to write a simple program that detects which key is pressed on the keyboard and immediately “converts” it into a different character–partly to learn how to program and partly to help me learn Thai. This way I can use an English-language keyboard that mimics a Thai-Language keyboard. My code worked great with only a few if statements, so I was like Ah this was easy and then I typed out about 50 more and tested it, but then it stopped working ? . Is there a maximum number of IF statements allowed in javascript? Or maybe my syntax is wrong? Here’s what I’ve been working on: (haven’t bothered with all the characters yet)

<body>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function press(e){
var evtobj=window.event? event : e
var unicode=evtobj.charCode? evtobj.charCode : evtobj.keyCode
var actualkey=String.fromCharCode(unicode)
