Tabindex is good if you're stuck with old-style, table based, kludgey markup, but has largely been superseded (IMHO) by the idea of having a right source-order and, if necessary, using CSS to position things a certain way visually. As for accesskeys, I tend to side with John/Derek's view, although granted in some instances it can make sense to have them (depending on audience, purpose, etc). If anything, I'd go with a minimal set of keys. -- Patrick H.
