Can some modify this script for me?

You press a key and it sends you to that page. Can you modify it so that you have to press Ctrl & Alt and the key to navigate to the page.

isNetscape=(document.layers);
// Cross-browser key capture routine couresty
// of Randy Bennett (rbennett@thezone.net)
eventChooser = (isNetscape) ? keyStroke.which : event.keyCode;

You can find out about Netscape's ALT and CTRL detection at http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.3/reference/event.html#1196474 , and IE's detection at http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/obj_event.asp (look at AltKey, AltLeft, CtrlKey and CtrlLeft).

You should be able to figure something out.

I have a compatibility problem with this same JavaScript with FireFox and even NetScape. The problem lies in this line

eventChooser = (isNetscape) ? keyStroke.which : event.keyCode;

I don't know enough about JavaScript, but I would really like to get this script to work for FireFox. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.
