Keyboard shortcuts on a webpage

Hello,

Context = Web site with VB2008.

Is it possible to define keyboard shortcuts on a webpage, to make it
possible for the user to "click" on a button or a link, or to set the focus
on a control, by using only the keyboard ? How ?

Thank you for your help,
Gilbert

I have not hear of this built into ASP.NET. But I'm sure you could write
JavaScript code to respond to key events and then set focus.

Some use the kbd element (Example: <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd>) to mark up keyboard shortcuts, but the spec defines kbd as: "Indicates *text* to be entered by the user." (emphasis mine). UA support aside, what's the best way to do this? -- Spartanicus
