"Web Site query"

Is it possible (using JavaScript) to set up keys on the keayboard to activate certain links on a web page??

For example, I have a series of photos in a Gallery, and when each one is shown in full, there is are "Previous | Home | Next" links for the respective pictures.

Is it possible for say, the 'N' on the keyboard to activate the Next Link, the 'P' for the previous link and 'H' for the Home link??

Thanks to anyone for any details.

Pleasure t'elp, guvna.

Perfect :)

Thanks for that, and from everyone else.

Does exactly as I'd hoped for :)

Oh, should probably just mention that this doesn't work for the numbers on the pad on the right or any "special" keys (full stop, comma etc). Although strangely it does work for the numbers along the top... hmm...

....

All you need to do is (if){then} for the keys and change thre href as necessary.

Yes, this is possible. I was playign around with it once when I read how to do it. I suppose I could dig it out for oyu if I can find it . . .

AH, N is 49, H is 35 and P is 25, I think.

Hope that helps.

I would think that's possible.

You'd probably just need to use if(event.button==[key number here]){ and then just direct it to a webpage.

If you don't know how to get the key numbers, I could probably find them, too.

No worries, thanks for the reply :)

Sorry...

Can you remember if it took much code to do?
