[...] IMHO, ACCESSKEY attribute seems to be somewhat media-dependant (UAs are not required to have "keyboards"). Anyway, if I had a menu of links, like the one on the <http://www.w3.org/>: HTML Style Sheets Document Object Model Math Graphics and 3D Internationalization Fonts Amaya Arena does the author have to arbitrarily assign access keys to the links? (And why should he/she care? Some UAs allow you to "select" a link using TAB key.) > What's the best way for authors to show which access key > they've assigned? > > <A HREF="http://www.yahoo.com" ACCESSKEY="Z">Z: Yahoo!</A> > <A HREF="http://www.yahoo.com" ACCESSKEY="Z">Yahoo! (Z)</A> > <A HREF="http://www.yahoo.com" ACCESSKEY="Z">Yahoo! [Access=Z]</A> This should be up to the UA, not "hardcoded" into the anchor content. When printing an HTML document, it is useless to show the access key. -- Steve Cheng elmert@ipoline.com http://www.ipoline.com/~elmert/
