oh, i've not notices it's your site :D there are some useful scripts for me i've found on it.

there is another little question i have about this keyDowns. if i'll do my own "ctrl+s" key combination pressed event handler, will browser let my script catch it or he processes all this hot combinations itself?

This probably isn't the prettiest way to do it, but it should work fairly well...

<script type="text/javascript">
ctrl = 0;
function whichKey(e) {
if (window.event) {
code = event.keyCode
}
else {
code = e.which;
}
if (code == 17) {
ctrl = 1;
}
if (code == 83) {
if (ctrl == 1) {
alert ("Ctrl + s was pushed");
}
}
if (code != 17) {
ctrl = 0;
}
}
document.onkeydown = whichKey;
</script>
