This is what I need to do.....

Onload of the page, I want the page to simulate a user pressing the F11 key. In other words, I need the onload function of the page to automatically press the F11 key for me (without the user doing anything).

Thanks.

irocwebs,

I apologize. It was the F9 key that I want to simulate, NOT the F11 key. The requirement is that I have a third party program that has been configured to run only when the user presses the F9 key, and I need some javascript onload function to automatically (programmatically) simulate the user pressing the F9 key when the web page is loaded (onload of the page).

Thanks in advance.

Many tihanks to all of you. This cannot be done since javascript does NOT allow simulating user pressing computer keys other than key detection.
