Java script for Keypress and the script to work

[aravitejareddy]

I need to assign a key in the javascript to actually make the javascript work,.

I have a bookmark in chrome , a javascript , which actually works when clicked on it .,. but how can i edit it so that i can actually make it work on click a key or combination of keys.

i want to declare the key or keycombo in the script itself .,.

the script is for catching the selected text on the webpage and opening a new tab(or window) and doing an exact search search of the selected text using google.com .,.,

So I want it to work it this way .,

select the text
press a key
and it opens a new tab (or window) with an xact search .,.





Thanks in advance ., pls help

You just need to call your function and declare it below:

onkeypress="{if (event.keyCode==13)yourfunction()}";

The keycode ==13 will be the key Enter .

Thanks for your reply for my question

I'll elaborate my question.,.,.,

I want the script to be used as a bookmarklet or an extension .,. since an extension is lil hard a bookmarklet with the javascript is fine .,.

My Javascript bookmarklet already does this thing

When text is selected and clicked on the bookmarklet it opens a new tab and does an exact search with the snippet of the text selected using google.com/search?q="(myselected text)"

Now i want it to do automatically on a key press

When certain text is selected and selected key is pressed it should do the work as when i clicked on the bookmarklet.

Note: I'm using this bookmarklet in CHROME

my javascript is
javascript:a = "" + (window.getSelection() ? document.getSelection() : document.selection.createRange().text); if (a!=null)window.open("http://www.google.com/search?q=\"" + escape(a)+ "\"");
