keystroke onClick()

[BennySHS]

Hi there,

I want to do the following:
When a form is submitted, I need a function which provokes a keystroke, for instance F11.

Is this possible to do with javascript ?
Thx a lot,
greets ben

No. It's not possible.

What are you attempting to do? f11 sets my screen to "full screen" when in Firefox on Windows... do you want to make the browser fit the screen? Wouldn't it be easier to just resize the window?

Cheers,
Jeff

hi!

the f11 was a bad example...it doesn't matter which key is the hotkey.

What I want to do:

I work on an php-based backoffice-software and need this functionality:
A user got a touchscreen and in the backoffice-software is an javaapplet where you can paint something.
The user should be able to write somethign with his pen and send this written info as a message.
For that I need to make a screenshot and send this via form to the server. (On the client a little delphi-tool is installed which make screenshots and safe it to disk on a definable hotkey)

In short: I want to execute this little screenshot-tool per shorcut via javascript.

Hope you understand my problem,
thx & greets ben

Maybe there is a solution with an ActiveX control. You certainly cannot do what you want using Javascript alone.

A ActiveX solution (should one exist) will only work on IE for Windows. A little out of my scope I'm afraid.

Cheers,
Jeff

Hi Ben,

Maybe a flash application is a better solution for your project.

Have a go in the Macromedia: Flash Forum = forum250
