Hi

Is there a way to naviagate from asp.net 1.x mobile page or raise an event when user enters a number on there smartphone? Right now the user has to click on either of these links

e.g there is a list

1. Menu

2. Quick

3. Advanced 

Entering 1 on keypad should redirect to menu.aspx or raise an event where in redirection takes place.

I think you can just use the accesskey attribute on an <A> tag.

Thanks Damien for your reply and the link you send. It works great with *.htm page but is there a way for aspx mobilepage to have this functionality?

</asp:HyperLink>

Hi harmangill77,

Based on my understanding, accessKey is device specific feature, you can't have it run on all of the devices which don't support HTML or XHTML.
