Gosh, you *are* a sweet-talker. ;-)
Google "javascript control key". Just about all modern browsers
support the "ctrlKey", "shiftKey", and "altKey" properties on the
click event, and just about all but IE support "metaKey" as well. So
if you observe your link:
$('linkGo').observe('click', clickHandler);
...you can tell whether a modifier key was down:
function clickHandler(evt)
{
alert(
"Control: " + evt.ctrlKey + "\n" +
"Shift: " + evt.shiftKey + "\n" +
"Alt: " + evt.altKey + "\n" +
"Meta: " + evt.metaKey);
evt.stop();
}
Stopping the event prevents the default action from happening.
