Rails spinoffs - Sep 2005 - Tabular structure where you can use keyboard to navigate up and down

Need some help in creating a table structure such that I can use the keyboard
up/down keys to move through the rows.
 
Can anyone give me a pointer to this?
 
So, if I have 5 row in the table, I want to be able to use my keyboard to go up
and down and select every row (without using the mouse).
 
Thanks,
Mandy.

Table rows aren''t selectable in HTML; you''ll need a
combination of
CSS and Javascript to simulate that behaviour. Define a CSS style to  
highlight a ''selected'' row, then attach Javascript to the
onclick and
onkeypress even handlers for your table rows to add/remove the  
''selected'' CSS class to table rows as appropriate.
