Event handling discrepancies for IE 7.0

Description

While all browsers will handle this:

$(document).ready(function() {
	$(window).keydown(function() { alert('OK'); });
});

IE7 requires it to look like

$(document).ready(function() {
	$(document).keydown(function() { alert('OK'); });
});

(notice 'document' instead of 'window' inside the first handler.) The same *probably* applies to 'keyup' and 'keypress'.

The window object in IE does not have key events. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms535873(VS.85).aspx#

The correct way to bind those events is to bind to the document.
