Srinivas, look at the code sample. It is easy to capture whether SHIFT key is pressed (TRUE or FALSE in my code) and then equate the return value from the keyPress event to "A". If both are true, then the user has pressed SHIFT A, and you can trigger your Help window or lead the user to your Help page (through URL.location).

Mayworth,

Yes this code does work in Phoenix 0.5 which was the last pre-Firebird version. It works in all mozilla variants at least on *nix and windows systems. Haven't tested on macs — which OS are you on?

I cannot get this code to work in phoenix 0.5? does it work for you, are there some requirements that I need to meet before I can run this script inside HTML page?
