are there DOM events for controller presses on the PS3?

Question

I want to develop a site which is easy to use from a Playstation 3 PS3 game console web browser. I thought it would be good to make screen actions on button presses on the console.

I can find no information on how to do this after quite a bit of searching.

Any info or links highly appreciated!

Answer 1

From what I've tested so far, the left stick generates mouse events, left pad with arrows generates keyboard events corresponding to arrows, while the right stick generates a mouseevent but unfortunately it does not move the mouse, but rather scrolls the window. I do not know how to detect in which direction the stick is pushed (unless the cursor actually moved or the background scrolled, in which cases it is quite trivial).

Why not write a function that displays a message for every "keystroke" and you'll see what values they represent:

$(document).keypress(function(event) {
   alert(event.which);
});

Then you can use the number you get from this test and create some logic based on that.

Like this perhaps:

if(event.which == 13) {
    // display cool menu maybe?
}
