Virtual keyboard help

My translate function is as below:

function insertAtCaret(ctrl, val)

{

if(insertionS != insertionE) deleteSelection(ctrl);

 if(gecko && document.createEvent && !window.opera)
   {
   var e = document.createEvent("KeyboardEvent");
 
   if(e.initKeyEvent && ctrl.dispatchEvent)
   {
   e.initKeyEvent("keypress",        // in DOMString typeArg,
   false,             // in boolean canBubbleArg,
   true,              // in boolean cancelableArg,
   null,              // in nsIDOMAbstractView viewArg, specifies UIEvent.view. This value may be null;
   false,             // in boolean ctrlKeyArg,
   false,             // in boolean altKeyArg,
   false,             // in boolean shiftKeyArg,
   false,             // in boolean metaKeyArg,
   null,              // key code;
   val.charCodeAt(0));// char code.
 
   ctrl.dispatchEvent(e);
   }
   }
   else
   {
   var tmp = (document.selection && !window.opera) ? ctrl.value.replace(/r/g,"") : ctrl.value;
   ctrl.value = tmp.substring(0, insertionS) + val + tmp.substring(insertionS, tmp.length);
   }
 
   setRange(ctrl, insertionS + val.length, insertionS + val.length);

}

   event.returnValue = false;

}

in this in IE the if condition event.initkeyEvent not executed?
