Hi,
I am stuck... I've got a popup window that displays a list in table
format with links on the bottom to navigate the list <prev> 1 2 3 ...
<next>
When I demo'd to the users... they immediately asked if they could use
the arrow keys and enter key to navigate the list. I think there must
be a way to do this, but I can't figure it out.
Has anyone out there done this? I would like to keep the mouse
navigation but add the ability to navigate using the keyboard.
Thanks! D 5  18195 
Yes, you can do that...
yo need to capture the key pressed by user, i recommend check this
page, there you can find the way to do that http://www.geekpedia.com/tutorial138...avaScript.html
After you have gotten the key, you can move the focus from one link to
another, in a little javascript function.
regards,
Tom
Tom,
Thanks. That helps. I think I've got all the pieces. I think I have to
figure out which row in the table the user is on, add or decrement and
focus on the new row. I will keep working on it.

That script could be somewhat more compact as:
<script type="text/javascript">
var keys = { 16:'shift', 17:'Ctrl', 18:'Alt', 19:'Pause',
37:'Arrow Left', 38:'Arrow Up', 39:'Arrow Right',
40:'Arrow Down'
}
function KeyCheck( e ) {
var msg = document.getElementById('xx');
var e = e || event ;
msg.innerHTML = keys[e.keyCode] || '';
}
</script>
</head>
<body onkeyup="KeyCheck(event);">
<p>The key you pressed was:
c</p>
</body>
[...]

Waou ! wonderful !
Is it an array ? object ? whatelse ?
function KeyCheck( e ) {
var msg = document.getElementById('xx');
var e = e || event ;
msg.innerHTML = keys[e.keyCode] || '';
msg.innerHTML = keys[e.keyCode] || e.keyCode;
would be instersting to see some key codes :-)
}
</script>
</head>
<body onkeyup="KeyCheck(event);">
<p>The key you pressed was:
c</p>
</body>

I think it's an object, my browser agrees. ;-)
Another way is:
var keys = new Object();
keys[16] = 'shift';
keys[17] = 'Ctrl';
...
But I like my way 'cos it's much more concise, though sometimes the
longer method is better for maintenance reasons 'cos it's a bit more
readable.
I'm sure there's a French equivalent for 'to each her own'. All I can
think of is 'Que sera sera' which doesn't seem appropriate...

If I had a dog it would have died of a persecution complex long ago. it
seems my fingers forgot to type everything my brain told them to.
