Keypress <Enter> opens URL in _self

Oct 27.2005

Is there a way for me to write Javascript into HTML so that once the page is open, they can hit the enter key to launch a URL as if they clicked a link? I know this can be done. I am a flash developer and can do it in flash, but we need it in HTML with no flash involved. Please help me. i don’t know JS very well and have been researching for hours now! LOL! Let me know ?

Thanks!

var pK = document.all? window.event.keyCode:e.which;
if (pK == 13) location.href = 'nextpage.html';
}
document.onkeypress = kH;
if (document.layers) document.captureEvents(Event.KEYPRESS);

@bokehOct 27.2005 — 13 By the way I edited my post above. Somehow I had posted the wrong piece of code.

@UltimaterOct 27.2005 — The enter key is key #13 by both the [i]which[/i] and [i]keyCode[/i] count.
