True, but no need for an accesskey once you get to the title attribute. Essentially they are useful in two ways 1. for people who are heavy users (people with serious mobility limitations) they're handy all over the place - especially if you can see them (which most browsers can provide with a style sheet). 2. for pages that people use very often, they become memorable. I guess this is the reasoning behind UK government "standard accesskeys" - if all sites in the UK government do the same thing people will learn it by and by. It's certainly the reson why Sidar is proposing an adaptation of them for Spanish-language sites that fit a certain pattern... cheers Chaals On 23 Feb 2004, at 15:17, ATutor wrote: > > No need to remember accesskeys, if they are included in a title > attribute. > greg > > Bart Simons wrote: > >> John, >> >>> Another problem is, I would need accesskeys for my >>> "Contact" forms for: >>> - Name >>> - E-Mail >>> - Comments, etc >>> >> >> In my point of view, accesskeys are useful for repetitive actions, >> but less >> interesting for usage on one particular page.
