[Javascript] Keyboard navigation

Hi Paul,

	If you're using IE, you'll want to check out the various
keyboard events, keycodes, and methods of handling them at 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/events.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/obj_ev
ent.asp

	There's a lot to read, but most likely you'll assign an
onKeyPress event handler to the body tag and go from there.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi,

I need to implement a way of allowing a user to be able to pull down
menu 
options from my pages by using keypresses.  Ideally I want to simulate
the 
behouir that happens in windows e.g. whenever I press alt and the 'f'
key, 
the file menu drops down.  Then whenever I press the down key, I can
scroll 
up and down the menu options.

Is this possible using javascript?  Or how on earth can I do this??

Thanks

Paul
