Not on the users machine, cept maybe some activeX hack, but you don't want to do that. with ASP, and on your server, maybe. depends on your server config. I'm not sure of the code though.

My reasons are:
I'm making a mini-chat between operators (in the building) and a monitor (In the Informatic Area). the operators has a TouchScreen... so, If I want to talk with them, I'm trying to use the Keyboard on Screen from Accesibility (Windows). So, in the screen of the operators would be shown chat screen and the keyboard from windows.

Am I clear?

thanks

You could make your own keyboard on the web page to enter the data into a textbox of a form that submits to the chat program. Here's a quick and dirty example I whipped up of a javascript keyboard.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script>
var keys=[['1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0','-','=','<-'],
          ['Q','W','E','R','T','Y','U','I','O','P','[',']','\\'],
          ['A','S','D','F','G','H','J','K','L',';','\''],
          ['Z','X','C','V','B','N','M',',','.','/']];
function init(){
  var output='';
  for(var i=0;i<keys.length;i++){
    output+=&quot;<div style=\&quot;margin-left:&quot;+(i*15)+&quot;\&quot;>&quot;
    for(var j=0;j<keys[i].length;j++){
      output+=&quot;<input type=button class=key onclick=add(escape(this.value)) value=\&quot;&quot;+keys[i][j]+&quot;\&quot;>&quot;
    }
    output+=&quot;</div>&quot;
  }
  document.getElementById(&quot;keyboard&quot;).insertAdjacentHTML(&quot;afterBegin&quot;,output);
}
function add(key){
  if(unescape(key)=='<-'){
    document.f.input.value=document.f.input.value.substring(0,document.f.input.value.length-1);
  }else{
    document.f.input.value+=unescape(key)
  }
}

</script>
<style>
.key{
  width: 30px;
  height: 30px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body onload=&quot;init()&quot;>
<form name=&quot;f&quot; action=&quot;addToChat.asp&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;input&quot; size=&quot;50&quot; readonly>
<div id=&quot;keyboard&quot;>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Space&quot; style=&quot;width:400px&quot; onclick=&quot;add('%20')&quot;>
</div>
</form>
