joe92 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Using JavaScript, is there a way to force the submission of a key combination? Reason I ask is because there are a few functions I would like to be able to offer but can't currently find a good/working way to do them, or they have really bad cross browser compatibility issues. E.g. A button to copy the current selection to the clipboard by forcing Ctrl + C, another would be an undo button by forcing Ctrl + Z, and a button to bookmark the current page by forcing Ctrl + D. Thanks for any help, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogray Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 You can't force a button to be pressed in javascript. However, there is an alternative for everything you asked for. Just google it (e.g. javascript copy to clipboard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe92 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 I have done. Take the bookmark function I mentioned. The only one I found that seems to work ok (still has problems) wants a licence fee of $25 per website to use and it's not very dynamic After exhausting my researching and testing, I wondered about forced key submissions as that would solve all my problems haha. Thanks for letting me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
