DOCUMENT:Q288181 13-MAY-2002 [frontpg] TITLE :FP2002: How to Create Home Page Hot Key with JavaScript PRODUCT :Word Front Page PROD/VER:: OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbdta ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft FrontPage 2002 - Microsoft FrontPage 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= This article illustrates how a key that is pressed when a user is viewing a Web page can be used to direct the browser to another location. The JavaScript example presented in this article associates the "H" key with a URL. When a user presses H, the browser navigates to that URL. You can use this procedure on a Web site as a "hot key" to return to the site home page. NOTE: This article uses custom JavaScript that may not be available in all browsers.
