Firefox and keydown event inside DIV elements

Hello,
can anybody please explain to me why the following code does not work in Firefox as it does in IE?
In general, how can I capture keydown events inside DIVs with firefox?

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
  <title>keydown test</title>
</head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function keydown(evt)
{
     obj = document.getElementById("test");
     if(obj)
     {
          if(window.event)
               var key = evt.keyCode;
          else if(evt.which)
               var key = evt.which;
          else
               return true;
          obj.innerHTML += "user pressed '"+String.fromCharCode(key)+"' ("+key+")<br>";
     }
}
</script>
<body>
<div id="test" style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 8px; position: absolute; overflow: visible; left: 0px; top: 0px; -moz-box-sizing: border-box; width:400px; height:100px; font-family:tahoma; font-size:11px; background-color:#CCCC66;" onkeydown="return keydown(event);">
</div>
</body>
</html>

Thanks in advance.
