Perhaps <button accesskey="O"><kbd>O</kbd>pen</button> with appropriate CSS applied would be a better solution than re‐animating the underline element. Of course, either way, the hint might not help the user much since the actual access keys would vary between UAs/hardware (e.g., modifier keys may be required (such as Alt or Alt+Shift) and/or the key(s) may already be assigned or non‐existent in particular software/hardware and, thus, ignored, re‐assigned, or simply execute multiple (possibly problematic) actions at once).Received on Friday, 28 December 2007 08:57:00 GMT
