jQuery - Trigger click event on links with spacebar?

Question

It looks like in most browsers, an treats both [spacebar] and [enter] as a click, but an link only treats [ente

Answer 1

I think the most important standard to maintain is not the browser's behaviour, but rather the user's expected response.

If you have overriden the display of links by turning them into buttons, the user must be able to treat those "buttons" exactly as they would if it were a real button, otherwise you will confuse and irritate users who have spent years with this "learnt" behaviour.
