How can I get Javascript to display text in html as I type?

Question

I made a simple guess the letter game. I want to display the letters guessed in the html after I type them. What can I use to do that?

Can you detect key press events? Can you update HTML on the page? Where are you stuck? — Paul

Many ways to do this; perhaps quickest and easiest is with jQuery.

Include Jquery in your page
Make a div element and give it an ID.
After a letter is guessed/typed, use .appendTo(), .html(), .val(), or the like to add the guess to the list
