Anyone?

 Hi guys and girls,

 I don't know if this is possible, but I'm aiming to detect whether or
 not a key is pressed, as in the key is already pressed when the page
 loads.

 My application changes the page when Ctrl+arrow is pressed, but
 without being able to detect whether Ctrl is still pressed when the
 next page loads, both keys have to be pressed again.

 So is there any way to detect if a key is currently pressed, but the
 keystroke occurred before the page loaded?

 Many thanks to all who help,

 Charles

[jQuery] Help understanding bind and adding to the DOM.

Hello everyone,

From this thread: 
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-dev/browse_thread/thread/22c0b936d2060dc4/
I now know what I need to accomplish, however I do not understand how
it works. Would someone be able to explain simply how to add data to
the DOM?
I had a quick look at Live Query as I thought it would be simple to
use (i.e. just include it and everything works), but I don't find it
to be simple at all. Maybe I will once I understand the concept.

Many thanks

Am I asking this question in the wrong place? Where would I go to get
responses?

Hi Jolyon,

I believe that's exactly what I'm doing, as it works perfectly fine
for the first dropdown. It's when jQuery is told to look at HTML
gained via Ajax that I begin to see a problem, but only with mouse
gestures. The key functions work perfectly fine.

Here's the code for the first dropdown (sites), which looks at HTML
generated with the page, and the second dropdown (eaas), which looks
at Javascript written HTML.

// Display the list of sites in a dropdown when the form field is
focused on.
$(.activate_site_list).focus(function() {
$(#site_list_dropdown).slideDown('fast');
}).blur(function() {
$(#site_list_dropdown).slideUp('fast');
});
// Display a nice hover colour when the sites are focused on.
$(#site_list_dropdown).find(li).hover(function() {
$(#site_list_dropdown).find(.hover).removeClass(hover);
$(this).addClass(hover);
site_selected = true;
scrollPosSites = 256;
},function() {
$(this).removeClass(hover);
site_selected = false;
scrollPosSites = 256;
});
// Display the list of EAAs in a dropdown when the form field is
focused on.
$(.activate_eaa_list).focus(function() {
$(#eaa_list_dropdown).slideDown('fast');
}).blur(function() {
$(#eaa_list_dropdown).slideUp('fast');
});
// Display a nice hover colour when the EAAs are focused on.
$(#eaa_list_dropdown).find(li).hover(function() {
$(#eaa_list_dropdown).find(.hover).removeClass(hover);
$(this).addClass(hover);
eaaSelected = true;
scrollPosEAAs = 256;
},function() {
$(this).removeClass(hover);
eaaSelected = false;
scrollPosEAAs = 256;
});

 Hi Charles,

 I'm not sure exactly how your code is, but it seems like you would
 want to run the code that applies the .hover() function to the li
 items after you pull them in via each ajax request.

  Hello!

  I'm using jQuery to build a form dynamically. Here's how it works:

  You are presented with an input box. When you focus on the box a
  dropdown list appears that you can click on in order to insert the
  chosen option into the input box, or you can use the keyboard arrow
  buttons to select your choice.
  When you move to the next input box the page makes a call via AJAX to
  grab information for the input box based on the previous selection.

  The problem is that the .hover() function doesn't seem to work with
  the information that has been pulled into the document using jQuery
  (it works fine with the first list). The items that are pulled in are
  all list items (li{name}/li). Using keystrokes works on the items,
  just not mouse gestures. Would this be a jQuery bug or is there
  something I can do?

  Many thanks,
