Loretta, COuld I get a little clarification. Are you asking from a user agent developer point of view or from an author point of view? From a user agent developer point of view there are several choices. The user agent should provide a mode where accesskey bindings take precendence over user agent binding conflicts. Foe example Opera implements accesskeys by requireing an acceeksy mode by pressing SHIFT-ESC and then the accesskey. From an author point of view I think you assign accesskeys based on what makes sense for your document. If you took into account all the potential conflicts of the major browsers, you would have a pretty limited set of keys. Remember some browsers have no conflicts like Opera. Recommend people use those types of browsers if they want to use accesskey functions. Jon On Fri, 14 Nov 2003, Loretta Guarino Reid wrote: > > What are our recommended best practices for access keys?
