Does anyone have a good design example of how to use the ACCESSKEY to increase the accessibility of a page. I am working on a project to create some accessible WWW based educational technology and our group has been trying to figure out how to use the accesskey feature to enhance accessibility. Some of the problems we are facing with the access key is the need to explicitly state the presence of the access key in the document, but different Browsers may require different modifier keys to use the access key. For eample in MS-Explorer your need to type ALT-S for ACCESSKEY="S", and on some other browser it may be something else like Ctril-S or just S by itself. So you just can't tell people to type S or ALT-S? Another issue is consistancy, does anybody have any ideas on how to assign keys so people can learn when to expect an access key?
