Using keyboard

[kevin plummer]

Hi All,

is there anyway in browses to use keyboard keys to scroll up and down?

also in a browse is there anyway to use keyboard page up and down as an alternative to using the mouse and clicking on the buttons?

Cheers,

Kev

Hi Kevin,

There are some complications with this. Firstly, there's an issue of "focus". In a windows app a list box can get "focus" and hence the keystrokes belong to it. However a html table doesn't get focus - and so the keys would be assigned to the buttons.

But if there was more than one set of browse buttons visible on the page, it's not at all clear _which_ browse should be scrolling.

I'll add it to the list though, as there are a couple of queries lately for keyboard control of the pages.

Cheers
Bruce
