How to close a popup using a function key in adf + Jquery

Question

Hello All,
I want to display some error message using function key so I have used javascript function
*function showText(event) {*
var k = event.getKeyCode();
*if (k == 115) {*
------------------------------------------CODE-------------------------------------------
This is working fine on click of F4 it is invoking a popup and inside that popup in dialog it is showing some error messages. The property modal of dialog is true. So that user should not be able to navigate to main form until error message is closed.
Now on click of F6 I want that error message to be closed. When I added af:clientListener on popup or dialog type="keyDown" is not available.
So I thought using jquery for this. I have created a form.js file inside that I have written:
*$(function first()*
*               jQuery('*').bind('keydown', 'F6', function (evt){closePopup();evt.stopPropagation();return false;});*
*function closePopup(){*
*     alert("Do you want to close the error message");*
I have also added jquery.hotkeys.js and jquery-latest.js file.
My question here is How can i find that popup or dialog inside that jquery function and close it?
On click of F6 I am getting that alert Do you want to close the error message but after that how can I find the popup or dialog and close it?
I am new to jquery still I tried using some code:
var dialog = event.getSource();
var popup = dialog.findComponent("p1");
popup.close();
and
var output1 = AdfUIComponent.findComponent("p1");
output1.close();
and
curElm = document.activeElement;
var frm = curElm.close();
But none of them worked.
Please help
Thanks

Hi,
this whitepaper: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/1-2011-javascript-302460.pdf has an example of registering keyboard keys on a global level (see page 36). So you would define a key to close dialogs in general. The paper also explains how to search and find components. Note that you should always work with the ADF Faces client side API and never against the generated markup or DOM (which in fact your code does)
