This should also generate the onkeypress handler also for accessiblity reasons. Also onClick= is not a valid xhtml attribute because of the capital 'C'. Since html works either way, and there are people who will want to have xhtml validity it's probably best to keep attributes lowercase. > * Added the possibility for shared partials.
