jShortcuts: Quick Start

Copy & paste following code to your web page and you are ready to go. This demo code registers three demo keyboard shortcuts:

Ctrl+M (built-in menu demo): displays built-in shortcut menu (you can style it with your own CSS style)
Ctrl+F9 (callback shortcut demo): calls callback JavaScript method
Ctrl+Shift+G (URL shortcut demo): opens Google page in new window

<html><head></head><body>

<div>your content</div>

<!--put this at the end of your page-->
<script type="text/javascript"

<script type="text/javascript">    
    jShortcuts.register([
        //displays built-in menu
        jShortcuts.createMenuShortcut('Ctrl+M'),
        
        //simulates button click
        //jShortcuts.createElementShortcut('nextButton', 'Next Page', 'Ctrl+Shift+N'),
                    
        //fires callback method
        jShortcuts.createCallbackShortcut(function () {
            alert('test from shortcut callback');
        }, 'Callback test', 'Ctrl+F9'),
                    
        //opens new page
