simulate pressing keyboard key

[koblitz]

I know the input type file is read only. I want to work around this somehow. Is there anyway to simulate pressing a keyboard key?

ie can I set focus to the input file text box and the simulate pressing c, :, \.

Any work arounds or suggestions is very appreciated.

thanks
Dave

there are no workarounds. it's just one of the things you have to deal with. sorry.

Using DOM2 Mutation Events (or was it Gecko's proprietary DOM KeyEvents? can't remember....) you can progmatically "type" into a textarea.
