The first thing raised is Cross Browser Compatibility - if you want it, then it'll increase your work no end Anyways, without starting on code, the general principal is to capture all events and check for the arrow key presses, then you have to find out where the cursor currently is (you can't just assume) and move it in the correct direction Two words for you: good luck!
