I've fixed it. (What language is "pile"? I know it's "batteries" in Italian, but that's about it...) – T.J. Crowder Feb 09 '10 at 13:35

Left: 37, Right: 39.
Discovery of other keycodes can be done with the following code:
$('body').keyup(function (event) {
console.log(event.keyCode);
});
Which will output the keycode to the console when you press any key.
