Key board Control on HTML page

[Syed Saifuddin]

Hi all

Please tell me that either it is possible to make keyboard control on JSP page or not.

I built a form with some text field and and two button.
Name of buttons are reset and save.

Now when I click on any button I will get the desire functionality but I also want to use Control + S for save button and Control + U for reset.

If you know that how it is posible please give some reference

Thanks All

Moving to the HTML/Javascript forum.

Basic idea:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function handlePress(evt){
    evt = (evt)?evt:((event)?event:null);
    if(evt.ctrlKey){
      if(evt.keyCode == 21){
        alert("You typed ctrl - u");
        return false;
      }
    }
  }
  document.onkeypress = handlePress;
</script>

You may run into trouble with certain key combos since they already exist.

Hi Eric Pascarello

Thank you for your immidiate responce. I will try my best to use your code and idea but it is only working when the focus is on button.

Now plz try to get my point: I want to just ues a key combination let say control + s for save option . Even If the explorer is under focus and save button is not focused I want this key combination to work .

Is this requirement is possible

Thankyou.

you need to add the onkeypress handler to the buttons

onkeypress="handlePress()"

I think that should work
