Here is the very much better version 1.1

Here is the basic code

Replace #KEY# with what key you want

Copy and paste if you want more in the same fashion

Give me some feedback

Place this code into headinclude template

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
var key = new Array();  // Define key launcher pages here
key['#KEY#'] = "URL FOR THIS BUTTON";
key['#KEY#'] = "URL";
key['#KEY#'] = "URL";
key['#KEY#'] = "URL";

function getKey(keyStroke) {
isNetscape=(document.layers);
eventChooser = (isNetscape) ? keyStroke.which : event.keyCode;
which = String.fromCharCode(eventChooser).toLowerCase();
for (var i in key) if (which == i) window.location = key[i];
}
document.onkeypress = getKey;
//  End -->
</script>

That has to be placed into the <head>

Heres my example...

Code:

<!-- Begin
var key = new Array();  // Define key launcher pages here
key[' '] = "index.php";
key['f] = "search.php";
key['e'] = "javascript:history.go(-1);";
key['w'] = "usercp.php";

function getKey(keyStroke) {
isNetscape=(document.layers);
eventChooser = (isNetscape) ? keyStroke.which : event.keyCode;
which = String.fromCharCode(eventChooser).toLowerCase();
for (var i in key) if (which == i) window.location = key[i];
}
document.onkeypress = getKey;
//  End -->
</script>

Pressing spacebar takes you to Homepage of forums

f takes you to search

e goes to the last page

w goes to the profile section

Soon to come.... The number buttons to quickly go to a forum

ie - pressing one goes to forumdisplay.php?forumod=1

AND

this is my favorite

Shift + number..... eg ! (shift1)

Goes to newthread.php?forumid=1

Anymore suggestions?

NOTE: Be sure to tell your members by something in header or footer otherwise idle keyboard smashing sessions will get them very confused :-P

woo hoo !
*wolf whistles @ wayne*

I like the idea of a hot key to jump to the drop down forum nav...good one !

I installed this and out it in the header... and everytime I try to post it still uses the letters to send me all over the place.

How can I avoid this?

any clues?

Make sure the cursor is inside the input box

Always click where you are going to type in, and you should see the cursor blinking there

I have only tried this with IE 5, but I would have thought it would work with others...

I am sing 5.5 and it doesn't work

Is there any way that I can add this to the templates... instead of the header?

#17 03-24-2001, 07:42 PM

Your best bet is to delete the bit saying $headinclude between the <head> and </head> tags in the posting bits...... Basically, the login bit, newthread, newreply, new calendar event, etc.

Then copy and paste the normal headinclude template -with out- the extra hack in the <head> </head> bits on those templates
