A web standards checklist
How do you know your site is web standards compliant - with a detailed
checklist
I just had an appointment reminder pop-up on my outlook. Today is the day that I'm
supposed to put together a list of access keys to use on our web site and the tab
index on our forms. For those of you that have put together a chart of access keys
for your sitewide navigation, do you have any
Hi Bent,
...The menu is tested in Opera, Firefox and Netscape and in these browsers the
menu seems to work as expected.
IE, however, give me an unwanted gap when accessing sublevels. How do I
solve that problem?
Hope some of you wizards out there can help me out :-)

Hi Ted,
After looking at numerous articles about accesskeys I came to the
conclusion that accesskeys are more bad than good. The only accesskey I
use on my site is s for skip navigation (pretty much universal).
Anyway this article explains it pretty good
Hi again, Ben!

Hi Ted
I've steered clear of access keys as they cause some problems on Safari
etc. After seeing a screen reader in action at a previous WSG meeting in
Sydney there are some much better ways it has to directly access content

I agree with what Derek says, and he sums it up nicely.
I have been using accesskeys since WCAG1 came out mid 99, and can cause more
usability problems that provides ease of accessibility. I even use span
to underline the key letter to indicate the access key, which is the
standard way to show
They are used to seeing this type of thing in application software,
but not on the web.
Geoff, from where I sit, I'd have to disagree.
people are wanting more out of the web.
