Hotkeys?
I'm am putting together a small site that has an emphasis and speed and efficiency. In it, I have a link that goes to the next page.
<a href=http://www.mysite.com/1.php?&id=2 <strong>accesskey=h</strong>>NEXT</a>With the code, when you press "[alt] + h", it will advance to the next page. I want to get to a point where I don't have to press [alt] and just the "h". I know that with Gmail, you can enable hotkeys that allow you to do stuff without pressing [alt]. For example, simply pressing "c" is the same as clicking the "write new message" button.
How can I make it so my hotkeys don't require the [alt]?

Have you tried looking at the code on the page you say can do this??

I just did. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to show how it was done.
Would I use javascript, or html, or what else?

Can you give an example URL that does this?

In the settings, turn on hotkeys, and you can, for example, press "c" to compose a new message. For this you do not need to press the [alt] key. This is what I'm going for and I would appreciate any help to get there.
Thanks

Man, it we can figure this out it would be awesome. I have a few sites that I could use this on. I never thought of trying this out though. I use it on gmail all the time (gotta love the j and the k) we just have to figure out how to do it.

Put this in the body tag
onKeyPress="checkKeycode(event)"'Put this in the file for the site:
<?php
function checkKeycode(e)
{
var keycode;
if (window.event)
keycode = window.event.keyCode;
else if (e)
keycode = e.which;
if(keycode==AttandedKeyCodeHere)
{
Code Here
}
}
?>
This is supposed to make it work, but I haven't been succusful with it (yet). Anyone know anything about php functions? For some reason, when I add the function above, I get errors for my site...

Just to clarify, this would be Javascript (client side), not PHP (server side)
