Would it be fair to say, therefore, that defining Accesskeys is a waste of time unless one is designing for a controlled environment such as an intranet?

What say the WCAG folks to issues like this? Cheers M -- Matthew Smith IT Consultant - KBC, South Australia KBC Web Site http://www.kbc.net.au PGP Public Key http://gpg.mss.cx
