My understanding from the previous discussion of this point is that ACCESSKEY specifies a Unicode character, which the author should choose as a mnemonic (as in a good menu system). The key or key sequence to be used in entering the access character is (or should be) implementation-dependent, as should the highlighting, voice quality or other style property which serves to identify it in the user interface. I agree with Charles that there are dependencies here involving thg UA and PF, but that the relevant authoring technique is to choose a mnemonic character with which to identify the form control, link, etc., which should then be provided as the value of ACCESSKEY. Do not use the same value twice in a single document. I don't think ACCESSKEY is inherently problematic. It might better be called MNEMONICCHARACTER, a name which would undercut the implication that there exists (or should exist) a direct correspondence between the character and a keyboard.Received on Friday, 9 June 2000 23:20:05 GMT
