i want to offer a navigation via shotcuts. i did it this way so far: <a href="#" onfocus="javascript:redirectByShortcut('<?php echo CONTACTS_FILENAME; ?>?select=1');" accesskey="c"></a> function: function redirectByShortcut(redirectUrl) { top.location.href = redirectUrl; } works fine. but isn't it possible and even better to do it by hidden input fields?!!
