ASP Reading Keyboard

[Jay]

I have a web page that waits for a users to enter a number and press ENTER
simulating the click on the submit button. The problem is when the page
reloads the cursor is not in the textfield on the form. There will be no
mouse hooked up to this PC so I need to be able to have the users type a
number 1-5 and press enter and it will go to another page. Is there a way
to monitor the keyboard and wait for 1-5 to be press and execute a
response.redirect or something of the sort?

Thanks!

This has nothing to do with ASP, it's a client-side issue. See the focus
method:
