In 2005 during the birth of "ajax" I got paid ($100 or something: it was great when I was a youngster!) to write an article warning of the spooky dangers of xmlhttprequest - keylogging everything you type. http://www.devx.com/webdev/Article/28861 http://www.devx.com/webdev/Article/28861
There was a demo (dead now - I'll fix it) that was a text adventure, that keylogged. And it was interesting to see typos and changes of wording. It did provide some insight that wasn't always apparent in the final submitted text commands.
Even though in 2005 it was known you could do this (long before ajax), still today I'm a little taken-aback about being keylogged on a random website: despite having written a bloody article about it 15 years ago!
