Hi-- I'm trying to make my forms accessible, but I can't figure out how to make the radio buttons and checkboxes keyboard-accessible. I've tried the accesskey feature, but that technique doesn't work in Netscape 4.7 (example is at http://158.72.80.241/development/HelpDesk/home_version/testAccess.htm). What am I doing wrong? Do I need an accesskey, or is there a keyboard command to select form items that I don't know about? Here's the source code: <HTML> <HEAD> <META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0"> <TITLE></TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <form> <label for='text1' accesskey="1"> Press Alt+1 to set focus to the textbox. <P><INPUT id=text1 name=text1 tabindex='1' size="20" maxlength="20"></label></P> <p> <label for='radio1' accesskey="2"> Press Alt+2 to set focus to the radio button. <INPUT type="radio" id=radio1 name=radio1 tabindex='2'></label></p> <p> <label for='radio2' accesskey="3"> Press Alt+3 to set focus to the radio button. <INPUT type="radio" id=radio2 name=radio1 tabindex='3'></label></p> <p> <label for='checkbox1' accesskey="4"> Press Alt+4 to set focus to the checkbox button. <INPUT type="checkbox" id=checkbox1 name=checkbox1 tabindex='4'></label> </p> <p> <label for='checkbox2' accesskey="5"> Press Alt+5 to set focus to the checkbox button. <INPUT type="checkbox" id=checkbox2 name=checkbox2 tabindex='5'></label> </p> </form> </p> </BODY> </HTML> Thanks! ___________________________________ Lynn Morris Division of Electronic Information Services Office of Information Technology, HRSA 5600 Fishers Lane Room 10A-03 Rockville, MD 20857 Phone: 301-443-3128 FAX: 301-443-3604
