Letters as Shortcut for Buttons

[Scott Klement]

I guess that depends on what 'event' is in your example...

Actually, looking at my earlier example, it was not good because that event is calling an anonymous function, which would be difficult to unregister since it wasn't saved anywhere.

You'd have to do this in the onload event:

Code: Select all

window.ericsLovelyKeydownRoutine = function(event) {
    event = event || window.event;
    var key = event.which || event.keyCode;
   
    if(key == 89) {
      // 'Y' key pressed
      pui.click("btnYes");
    }
   
    if(key == 78) {
      // 'N' key pressed
      pui.click("btnNo");
    }   
   
}

addEvent(document, "keydown", window.ericsLovelyKeydownRoutine);

And this in the onsubmit:

Code: Select all

removeEvent(document, "keydown", window.ericsLovelyKeydownRoutine);
