and I would like to have the right arrow and left arrow do the same as
the links. How can I do that?
That sounds like a bad idea Todd.
First of all, let's consider what your *users* want.
If I were a user at your site and the window was too wide,
I might tap the 'right' arrow a few times to see what content
you are 'hiding' from me. It would be rather confusing if
your site then catapulted me through two or three pages.
But, I hear you say, your pages are *squeezy*, they adapt to
whatever size the user has. Good, that's a good sign, but I
would still expect the keys on my keyboard to act exactly the
way they do on every(*) other site, it would never occur to me
to hit the 'right arrow' to navigate, and I would quickly forget
if your pages told me (..like I'm there to 'learn' your site).
* Notwithstanding the sites where the developer thinks they
know my keyboard and my needs better than I do.
I ask you to reconsider even attempting this.
