RE: Fw: Keyboard mapping with IBM's webfacing tool -- WEB400

You should be able to do this with JavaScript if I am not mistaken.

Checkout this link:
http://www.webdevelopersjournal.com/articles/jsevents3/jsevents3.html 

Look at this code specifically. Just create a file called onkeydown.html and
use notepad to paste the below into it.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
  <TITLE>keyCode</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY onkeydown="displaykey();">
  <INPUT TYPE="text" name="text1">
</BODY>
<SCRIPT>
  function displaykey() {
    text1.value=event.keyCode+' : '+String.fromCharCode(event.keyCode);
  }
</SCRIPT>
</HTML>

Then once you have trapped the key you can determine if there is an action
that needs to happen.

I would not be surprised. I put a call in to IBM about iSeries Access for
the Web about the same thing. I was told that iSeries Access for Web is not
a "true" 5250 emulator so there is not a way to map the keyboard. I am
working on a webfaced project right now and I can't see a way to do it. 
<Enter> is enter and the command keys work the same as 5250, but I don't
belive you can map a key to field + or any other key for that matter. If you
can I would love to know how.

     Subject: Keyboard m= apping with IBM's webfacing tool

     I am sitting her= e at a client site with a consultant from a 
software
     company that used IBM'= s webfacing tool to put a GUI front end on 
their
     software.
     <= P>The consultant swears that there is no way to make the= + (Plus)
     key on the right side of the numeric keypad map to be a field exi= t
     key.
     Can this possibly be true? The= enter key maps as an enter key. This
     issue is really slowing down the peop= le entering timecards, 
invoices,
     etc.
     Thanks
