    HOW DO I: replace the ctrl+f funcion of IE

    I have made my own modal dialog box which brings up some data
    for the user to search through. I have given a button which would display the modal dialog, but I would like to give it a hotkey. I particularly want to use CTRL+F, but this always brings up the IE find box.

    Any suggestions?

    Can you not just use accesskey instead?

    Code:
    <input accesskey="F" value="Alt + F" type="button" />
    I think that means windows uses Alt + F and Mac uses Cmd + F, or is that not what you want?

    Actualy I was hoping for ctrl+f cos this app I am working on is an online version of our user database that is origonaly done localy in FileMaker. People have grown so used to the ctrl+f to find records that I was hoping to be able to use it
