Along with the case of access-key content grouped at page bottom, there is another common case, which is the use of access-key markup on lists of hyperlinks. That's something especially common in portal sites. It does restrict each list to having at most 12 items (0-9 plus star and hash) that can be activated through access keys. But some sites actually do still use both longer lists and access keys. In that case, they just provide access keys for the first 10 or 12 items -- which are usually grouped to be the items that are used most frequently -- with the remaining (less frequently used) items going accesskey-less, requiring navigate to them in order to activate them. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://people.w3.org/mike/ http://sideshowbarker.net/
