Adding a timeout to Auto Complete doesn't work for IE

Question

We implemented our own declarative auto complete component. So we're manually handling KeyUp and KeyDown.
One thing that we need to do is to add a timeout so that when the user is typing, we don't fire the bean code to do the query on every key pressed, but only do it after say half a second. That way if the user is intending to type 3 keys, we only need to fire our query once, where realHandleKeyUpOnSuggestField is the function that calls the query among other things.
This is called from our ClientListener
function handleKeyUpOnSuggestField(evt) {
    var realHandleKeyUpOnSuggestField = function () {
        // start the popup aligned to the component that launched it
        var inputField = evt.getSource();
        var suggestPopup = inputField.findComponent("suggestPopup");
        //   var suggestTable = inputField.findComponent("suggestTable");
        //don't open when user "tabs" into field
        var valueStr = inputField.getSubmittedValue();
        // Special characters coming from scanner. Don't popup if that's the case.
        if (suggestPopup.isShowing() == false && evt.getKeyCode() != AdfKeyStroke.TAB_KEY) {
            //hints = {align:AdfRichPopup.ALIGN_AFTER_START, alignId:evt.getSource().getClientId()+"::content"};
            var alignTo = inputField.getClientId() + "::content";
            var hints = {
                align : AdfRichPopup.ALIGN_AFTER_START, alignId : alignTo
            suggestPopup.show(hints);
            //disable popup hide to avoid popup to flicker on
            //key press
            suggestPopup.hide = function () {
        //suppress server access for the following keys
        //for better performance
        if (evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWLEFT_KEY || evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWRIGHT_KEY || evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWLEFT_KEY || evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.SHIFT_MASK || evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.END_KEY || evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.ALT_KEY || evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.HOME_KEY) {
            return false;
        if (evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.ESC_KEY) {
            hidePopup(evt);
            return false;
            // query suggest list on the server
            AdfCustomEvent.queue(suggestPopup, "suggestServerListener",
            // Send single parameter
                filterString : valueStr
true);
    var inputField = evt.getSource();
    if (window["timer" + inputField.getClientId()]) {
        window.clearTimeout(window["timer" + inputField.getClientId()]);
    window["timer" + inputField.getClientId()] = window.setTimeout(realHandleKeyUpOnSuggestField, 500);
}This works fine in FireFox and Safari and Chrome, but not in IE.
The following error occurs:

When I debugged through, it seems like the event's getKeyCode() doesn't exist. I'm assuming it's something to do with scope for IE working different than FireFox.
I realize this is more JavaScript question, but I'm wondering if anyone got something like that to work on ADF. As far as I know, there's no other way besides using JavaScript and IE doesn't seem handle scoping very well. I can't use a global parameter because I'm using this in a component and you can have multiple components in a page.

Clicking the link to the .PDF launches the file in a browser (same gimped toolbar for both IE 8 and Firefox). When I right-click the .PDF toolbar in-browser, I have access to the following toolbars:
File
Find
Page Display
Page Navigation
Select and Zoom
Tasks
I don't see anything for Commenting / Annotation.
