Any keydown event was not handled by HTML. HTML is a static language. JavaScript probably was used. Might help...

No, you did not use to have them. You can't do anything like that with HTML - HTML is only for markup, not interaction. You're most likely talking about JavaScript. Here is how to get certain key press events on the keyboard with JavaScript and assign them to variables to use:

Here's some more discussion on that from Drupal:

edit: Why should we give you a complete code? That takes the fun and the learning out of programming. We can give you hints and resources, but not full scripts. If you supposedly "do both" languages, figure it out on your own like a real programmer. All of us get stuck on scripts sometimes. Answers don't exactly just fall into your lap.

Uhh, that sounds like Javascript to me, not HTML. HTML doesn't "switch through imgs" as you put it.

that really depends on what library is processing the keyboard events.  in javascript, the keycodes are unique.

just google "javascript event arrow keys"
