Key combinations

[emozley]

Hi,

I am trying to display an alert box if the user pushes Ctrl+M. So far I can make it do it by pushing M but am having problems detecting a key combination.

My script is as follows:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
document.onkeyup = KeyCheck;       
 
function KeyCheck()
{
   var KeyID = event.keyCode;
 
   switch(KeyID)
   {
      case 77:
      alert('User Menu');
      break; 
   }
}
</script>

Thanks very much

Ed

In such situations I usually read Detecting keystrokes by Peter-Paul Koch. ( The Special keys caveats 4[sup]th[/sup] point contains the hint. )
