Hi !
Let me be ellaborate in my question. I have text fields in my html page. I got to get the ascii value of the key pressed within the text field, if arrow key is pressed. The ultimate aim of this requiremnt is to move the focus from one textfield to another, something like excel spreadsheet. When the focus is in one text field and if the user presses down arrow, I should move the focus to the textfield one below the current and the same for the other three arrow keys, so the cursor moves similar to excel. Hope the question is clear. I guess this is possible if the ascii value of the arrow key is trapped, when pressed (when cursor is in text field), but it doesn't work in netscape 4.7 . Please give me a solution so that it works in netscape.

Thanks
AJP
