key to open a link (possible?)

@apeaceMar 10.2008 — #There are a couple of ways you could do this:

<a href="linkA.html" accesskey="a" />Press CTRL+A to get this</a>

If you use that, users can press CTRL+A to access the link. However, this doesn't work correctly in many browsers.

Here is another way:

&lt;head&gt;
 &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
 var link1 = "link1.html";//if you press A
 var link2 = "link2.html";//if you press B
 
 <i>    </i>function goToLink(e){
 <i>    </i>  var keyCode = (window.event) ? event.keyCode : e.keyCode;
 <i>    </i>  switch(keyCode){
 <i>    </i>    case 65:
 <i>    </i>      window.location=link1;
 <i>    </i>      break;
 <i>    </i>    case 66:
 <i>    </i>      window.location=link2;
 <i>    </i>      break;
 <i>    </i>    default:
 <i>    </i>      break;
 <i>    </i>  }
 <i>    </i>}
 
 <i>    </i>document.onkeyup = goToLink;
 &lt;/script&gt;
 &lt;/head&gt;

Then, all you need to do is create a case for the appropriate ASCII codes, a table of which can be found here:

Does this make sense? Let me know how you fare.
