Shortcut Keys

Hope this is in the right category.

I want to make a link perform a function as an instructional device...

like:
-----------------------------
....'Click "Ctrl+A" to select all'
-----------------------------

Clicking the word "Ctrl+A" would perform the same function as "Ctrl+A". Is there something I need to add in a link to make it perfrom a keyboard function?

My end product would open a "Find" Box.

Thanks for your help,

B.S.

html/css cannot do this. Possibly with javascript but you should ask on that board.

Thank you, I was hoping to keep everything html, we're trying to keep everything as basic as possible.

I'll check the Javascript Board

Thanks again.

You can try simulating it, but as far as I'm aware, you can't send keystrokes using javascript.
