How can I use javascript to pop up an image with a key-mouseover action?

[Glen_S]

What I want to do is have a mouseover image pop up work like this script does, but only when a key (I don't really care which key) is pressed while the mouseover happens. Someone suggested that javascript would probably be the best way to do this, so I'm hoping someone here can help me out.


thanks!

This is by NO means a solution (as I am new to js myself), but more so a representation of the required logic as I understand it...psuedo-code if you will.

document.onkeydown = setPressedKey();
document.onkeyup = unsetPressedKey();

function setPressedKey(){
     //textbox value = pressed key
     txtPressedKey.value = event.keyCode;
}
function unsetPressedKey(){
     //clear box value
     txtPressedKey.value = '';
}
function MouseOver(){
     //if box is empty, no key is pressed
     if(txtPressedKey.value != '')
     {
          //do stuff
          alert("MouseOver with Key Pressed");
      }
      else
      {
          alert("MouseOver with no Key Pressed");
      }
}

thanks - if you also have any suggestions how to incorp the popup into that I'd be grateful to! (you know way more about js coding than I do)
