It's a keyboard shortcut which I can > change if I wished, but don't want to because I'm so used to using it - I'd disagree there - it's definetly a bug to have the *same* key sequence launch a browser function AND an access key. It's entirely reasonable that a browser would have one shortcut key combination for user interface functions (alt+s for 'Search' in Mozilla, for instance), and another for "trigger accesskey". I'll concede that it may be more of a design flaw than a bug, but when it interferes in this manner I am tempted to call it the latter. > I shouldn't have to change it! I can't change a website's accesskey Of course not. It's the UA writer's task to make sure these functions are entirely separated - but it's not *really* an accesskey problem; more of a UI design problem. -- - Tina Holmboe Greytower Technologies tina@greytower.net http://www.greytower.net/ [+46] 0708 557 905
