KeyBoard Navigation for menu using jquery
Question
I am trying to add keyboard navigation to Menu(ul li based ) , i have bound the keydown event to menu (or should i bind keydown to the document ?)
the handler function used is given below
KeyDown: function(e) {
var toFocus = false;
if (e.keyCode == 38) {
toFocus = $((e.target/* li */).next()[0]);
}
if (e.keyCode == 40) {
toFocus = $((e.target).next()[1]);
}
if (toFocus) {
$(e.target).attr('tabIndex', '-1');
$(toFocus).attr('tabIndex', '0');
toFocus.focus();
return false;
}
}
here i get e.target as html instead of li ?
can u suggest any other way to add keyboard navigation ?

Try to use custom attribute to hold the tabid for up and down.
...KeyDown: function(e) {
var Direction;
if (e.keyCode == 38)
Direction = "toUp";
else Direction = "toDown";
var Focus = $("li[tabid=\""$(e.target.id).attr(Direction)"\"]");
Focus.focus();
}
---
<li ... tabid="1" toUp="-1" toDown= "2" />
<li ... tabid="2" toUp= "1" toDown= "3" />
<li ... tabid="3" toUp= "2" toDown= "4" />
<li ... tabid="4" toUp= "3" toDown="-1" />
The above code is just to show the idea, it is late now and I didn't have time to test it. So please don't vote me down for not working.
Hope that helps

if(typeof selected_item.prev()[0] !== 'undefined') {
selected_item.prev().addClass('selected');
selected_item.removeClass('selected');
