jsf and shortcut keys (Hot Keys)

[Balaji Kadam]

Hi all,
I want to use hot keys on my page to implement it. I have tried this using accesskey attribute for command button , but this changes behaviour hen browser changes. Is there any way in jsf to perform this?

Thanks
Balaji

Hi!

Use jQuery for a cross browser solution.

I don't believe that JSF has the built-in ability for hotkeys, at least not extensive support. For this you may have to use an additional framework. We use RichFaces on my team, and it has a hotkey tag that can do just about any hot keys you want. There are ways to do it in Javascript by capturing the onKeyDown event, finding what key it is, and sending that to a function to do whatever you want, but that's a pretty labor-intensive solution.
