Hey Troy,
Hopefully the browser will be NS or IE compliant, if so you can make set it
up to capture key events and alert() them so you can atleast know the
"value" of the key pressed.
id put this in my <head> to capture the value of the keys and then this code
could be modified to check the value and preform the right action based on
the value:
<SCRIPT language=javascript>
<!--
var nav = window.Event ? true : false;
if (nav)
{
window.captureEvents(Event.KEYDOWN);
window.onkeydown = NetscapeEventHandler_KeyDown;
}
else
{
document.onkeydown = MicrosoftEventHandler_KeyDown;
}
function NetscapeEventHandler_KeyDown(e)
{
alert("Netscape:Key="+e.which);
}
function MicrosoftEventHandler_KeyDown()
{
alert("IE:Key="+event.keyCode)
}
-->
</script>
i put this by itself in an html file and when i pressed a key from either IE
or NS it told me the value of the key i pressed so hopefully it will work
for you too on the handheld devices (:
