CTRL + ALT + Go here

[GavinPearce]

Rite I really have got stuck doing this script someone plase help, it's got my mind boggoling. I'm quite good at js for a 14 yr old but this has really got me confused, i have read and read and read about and but still can not figure it out. This three links have been given to me, perhaps you'll find them useful.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
var key = new Array(); // Define key launcher pages here
key['h'] = "index.html";
key['f'] = "feedback.html";
key['n'] = "new.html";
key['s'] = "toc.html";

function getKey(keyStroke) {
isNetscape=(document.layers);
// Cross-browser key capture routine couresty
// of Randy Bennett (rbennett@thezone.net)
eventChooser = (isNetscape) ? keyStroke.which : event.keyCode;
which = String.fromCharCode(eventChooser).toLowerCase();
for (var i in key) if (which == i) window.location = key[i];
}
document.onkeypress = getKey;
// End -->

You're 14? Me too! LOL :p Anyways, I don't quite understand what your question is. Do you just need documentation on the script to learn from it?

Kool didn't no. U got messenger.

Nah i cant figure it out at all.

Can you perhaps do it for me. I need it so instead of just pressing the letter say H for home you press Ctrl + Alt + H

I need it so u press Ctrl + Alt as wel.

OK, I can help you with that... You'll have to hang on for a few minutes, though.. Kinda busy. :p

This works in IE.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
var key = new Array();
key['h'] = "index.html";
key['f'] = "feedback.html";
key['n'] = "new.html";
key['s'] = "toc.html";

function getKey(keyStroke) {
isNetscape=(document.layers);
eventChooser = (isNetscape) ? keyStroke.which : event.keyCode;
which = String.fromCharCode(eventChooser).toLowerCase();
for (var i in key)
if(event.altKey==true && event.ctrlKey==true && which == i) window.location = key[i];
}
document.onkeydown = getKey;
// End -->
</script>

This should work in Netscape, although I haven't tested it because I don't have Netscape:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
var key = new Array();
key['h'] = "index.html";
key['f'] = "feedback.html";
key['n'] = "new.html";
key['s'] = "toc.html";

function getKey(keyStroke) {
if(window.Event){
alt = (keyStroke.modifiers & Event.ALT_MASK)? true: false;
ctrl = (keyStroke.modifiers & Event.CONTROL_MASK)? true: false;
} else {
alt = event.altKey;
ctrl = event.ctrlKey;}
isNetscape=(document.layers);
eventChooser = (isNetscape) ? keyStroke.which : event.keyCode;
which = String.fromCharCode(eventChooser).toLowerCase();
for (var i in key)
if(alt==true && ctrl==true && which == i) window.location = key[i];
}
document.onkeydown = getKey;
// End -->
</script>
