Hi!
I've just started to learn PHP, so this may be a dumb quiestion, but I'll
ask it anyway...
Is it possible to create a photoalbum (or make use of such) with PHP,
where I could navigete with my keyboard? When some picture from a gallery
would be selected, could I navigate to next or previous picture by using
for example buttons "n" and "p" from my keyboard? Is this possible to do
with PHP or should I use JavaScript or such instead?
If you want to use an existing album site, try Opera 7. It can
automatically work out which links are the "previous" and "next" ones.
You can navigate these links by pressing CTRL+ the left and right
arrow keys. I find this feature invaluable for speedy browsing of
search results from Google, eBay, etc.
If you're writing one and want to add this feature, try adding LINK
elements in your <head> thus:
<link rel="prev" href="album.php?page=4">
<link rel="next" href="album.php?page=6">
Some browsers may allow keyboard navigation of these links.
I was also going to suggest using the accesskey attribute, but from
what I've read it appears poorly supported and inconsistently
implemented.
