I have a very simple HTML form, only containing a submit button and a textarea. Is there an easy way to use a hotkey to submit this form, as an alternative to pressing the button?
Thanks in advance :-)
Submit buttons can have accesskeys, but there are drawbacks. Users would probably be better off just hitting the tab key to focus the submit button, and then pressing enter.
you can use the "keyDown", "keyPress" events if you use a JS library (JQUERY or MOOTOOLS).. you can program your own Ctrl+S to submit.
On JQuery see this http://api.jquery.com/keypress/
On Mootools see this http://mootorial.com/wiki/mootorial/03-native/05-event
