In IE you can use accesskey="F" for an alt+F combination. You can also use labels which will give the input box focus if you click them.
<label for="file">&File</label><input type="text" name="filename" id="file" accesskey="F"> ______________________ steve oliver atnet solutions, inc. http://www.atnetsolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Grover [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 9:17 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: intercepting keystrokes?? Is it possible to intercept the keystrokes from anywhere on the web page (i.e. an input text box may or may not have focus). I have a need to simulate the windows behaviour of the Alt-Key combinations (i.e. Alt-F opens a file menu, Alt-S may trigger a button event, etc.) I'm looking for ideas on how to do this. I'm assuming I'll need javascript and event coding. A sample would be good too - should be enough for me to get started. Thanks in advance. ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
