That sounds like it is used a lot for general site navigation (home, next, previous, up, toc, search, help, etc.) I must say that rel is much more appropriate for that. accesskey could then be used for a login form for instance. What I like about Chaals' proposal is that, although it mostly /speaks /of accesskeys, it gives preference to rel. With rel, and standardised values for it, users can get a UI that is *consistent across sites*. accesskey can only provide consistency within a site. -- Sander Tekelenburg The Web Repair Initiative: <http://webrepair.org/>
