I'm not super familiar with DOM events and such. Currently, what I'd like to do is click on the first object, which is a HTML link with the class name "test", when the user presses 1 on the keyboard and or keypad as well. I'd be using the keydown event since it seems more supported then keypress. How would I go as to doing this?

Answer 1

Using jquery for example:

$(document).on('keydown', function(event) {
    if(event.keyCode == 49 // press key 1 on keyboard
        || event.keyCode == 97) // press key 1 on keypad
        location.href = $('a.test').attr('href');
});
