The code I posted works, it was tested. Just add your links as Jtable['k'] = 'url'; i.e. pressing k will go to url. Clicking on the link marked k also does the same. > that also put it outside the HTML standard, or is Javascript part of the > standard?

Sun, Microsoft, the Mozilla foundation, and couple more have their own implementations. They are mostly compatible. Javascript is what drives most popup windows out there and is installed by default on all current browsers. It is cross platform with the exception of the usual stupid implementation details. If you want to make interactive pages then you need to know some Javascript. Html is considered inadequate for this. The code I posted is very minimal. It is possible to make it much more complex. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Forward > > Backward > > Reload > > > > > > This largely looks like gobbledygook to me.
