My tests in 5 out of 6 browsers worked: Windows XP: Internet Explorer 6.0: [alt]+[accesskey] focuses link Windows 2000: Mozilla 1.0: [alt]+[accesskey] activates link Internet Explorer 5.5: [alt]+[accesskey] focuses link Opera 6: Did not work Mac OS X (10.1): Internet Explorer 5.2: [ctrl]+[accesskey] activates link Mozilla 1.0: [ctrl]+[accesskey] activates link The difference to note is that Windows IE focused the link but did not activate it. I had to hit [Enter] again after it was focused. Opera 6 for Windows did not work in my test (tried [accesskey] by itself and in combination with [alt], [ctrl], and [alt]+[ctrl]). It's a good idea to steer clear of commonly used keys in case the browser has a default function associated with it. For these tests I used numerals 1 - 5. Hope that helps... James Craig -----Original Message----- From: Karr, David Subject: Implementation of "accesskey" support in Mozilla and IE latest? This has probably been smacked around for quite a while now, but I'm wondering what the current status is on this. Is there support for the "accesskey" attribute in either Mozilla or IE 5.x (or later)? My simple tests showed it is ignored, but perhaps I'm missing something.
