Hi Paul, If you're using IE, you'll want to check out the various keyboard events, keycodes, and methods of handling them at http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/events.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/obj_ev ent.asp There's a lot to read, but most likely you'll assign an onKeyPress event handler to the body tag and go from there. Cheers, Peter -----Original Message----- From: javascript-bounces at LaTech.edu [mailto:javascript-bounces at LaTech.edu] On Behalf Of Paul Cowan Hi, I need to implement a way of allowing a user to be able to pull down menu options from my pages by using keypresses. Ideally I want to simulate the behouir that happens in windows e.g. whenever I press alt and the 'f' key, the file menu drops down. Then whenever I press the down key, I can scroll up and down the menu options. Is this possible using javascript? Or how on earth can I do this?? Thanks Paul
