Please see http://houtek.com/ffk/contact.htm.

I seem to need to click in the body area before the "Key Launcher" function will work. Can someone please help me eliminate the necessity of doing that?

Thank you very much.

Thanks, Dave! Regretfully, the problem persists. I suspect that something like the solution you proposed is necesssary, as once I click in the body area, the function works. I just don't know how to say it. Can we refine the focus to the body area somehow? Or did I code it badly?
Thanks,
H.

Instead of using document.onkeypress = getKey;
trying adding the onkeypress to the <body> tag. Example: <body onkeypress="getKey;"> Hope that helps!

Thanks, Dave, I'm in IE6.0+... I wonder if it has anything to do with the presence of the shared borders, etc....? Off for more grocery shopping for Thanksgiving, will try these suggestions a bit later. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks,

after flogging all my good resources, I learned that FrontPage has an image map function, so I resolved it that way. Thanks for the effort and Happy Thanksgiving!
