keycode showing wrong ascii value

[manish250]

hello all

i have a jsp page in which i am using a function for detecting the ascii value of key pressed.it has to give alert if other than any alphabet key is pressed.Below giving the explaining code

function checkname(e)
   {
             var cc=e.keyCode;

             if(cc >=65 && cc <=90 || cc >=97 && cc<=122)
             {
                         return true;
              }
           else
            {                   alert (""+cc+"");
                           alert("Enter only alphabets");
                            return false;
            }
 }

 <td><input type="text" name="name" maxlength="20" onkeypress="return checkname(event);" /></td>
                                
                                <td width="57%"><input type="text" name="user_id" maxlength="20" onkeypress="return checkname(event);"/></td>

but when i go to write any alphabet in textbox it gives alert "Enter only alphabets".i have printed the value of key pressed it is showing every time zero.
