JavaScript alternative for HTML accesskey

Hi There,

I'm developing a simple web application (they are a "choose the right answer" type of exercise) using JavaScript to deal with the data and logic behind this application. These applications require pressing a button to answer some proposed questions. My question is:
Is there a way, using JavaScript, to create some accesKeys without having to press ALT+key (IE) or CTRL+ALT+key (mozilla firefox)?

Thanks in Advance!

you can monitor the keys pressed on a keyboard. if the character pressed (resp. its number) is the one you want, you can trigger the desired action.

Thanks, sometimes we just need the name of something to make google search more efficient. I had accesskey in my mind, but I think "monitoring pressed keys" will get it done.

related JavaScript Events: keypress, keydown, keyup. be aware that IE has different event methods than the DOM.
