Keydown, keypressed? input without inputbox

Shirenseru · May 11, 2006

Hi,

I recently saw on a website, that there was a possibility that when
you're on a certain webpage,

and you type like " code " on your keyboard, that some function is
being called.
Does anyone has experience with this?

Cause i would really like some help..

I would like on a page, when typing " admin " that your current window
is being redirected to another page.

Like i have my html page. i type " google " and suddently i'm
redirected to www.google.com. The thing is, you don't see what you
type. Thats the whole idea behind this.

I hope people understand me,

Thanks in advance

onkeydown/up on the window object.

That's counter-intuitive.

Like i have my html page. i type " google " and suddently i'm
redirected to www.google.com. The thing is, you don't see what you
type. Thats the whole idea behind this.

And if you type it wrong?

Well i mean when you type

" adm " and then " p "

it should break. But when the followup is " admin " only then, the
page should open www.google.com

could you give me an example?

Try something like:

this bellow works in my FireFox

<body>
<h1>Blind Entry Test</h1>

<script type="text/JavaScript">
buffer = "";
onkeyup = MonitorTyping;
function MonitorTyping(e) {
e = e || event;
buffer += String.fromCharCode(e.keyCode).toLowerCase();
if (buffer.indexOf("admp")>=0) location = "http://Yahoo.com";
if (buffer.indexOf("admin")>=0) location = "http://Google.com";
</script>

</body>
</html>

Change this line of code:

var code = "code"; //no spaces no special chars

To something like this:

var code="admin";

And then, change this line of code:

alert("You typed the code!")

to this:

window.location = 'http://www.google.com/';

Instead of using a "alert()" box, you can probably use "location" to load an
alternate page, or "window.open()" to load that in a new window instead.
