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 on a page (e.g list links, list headings etc).
Cheers James

Here is that list.*****************************************************
Listed below is the recommended UK Government accesskeys standard:
S - Skip navigation
1 - Home page 2 - What's new 3 - Site map 4 - Search 5 - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 6 - Help 7 - Complaints procedure 8 - Terms and conditions 9 - Feedback form 0 - Access key details
I think it's rather ironic that the access keys don't work on the page that lists them. Ted

For those of you that have put together a chart of access keys for your sitewide
navigation, do you have any good suggestions? Has anyone written a good story on
the approach and maybe even listed a set of default access keys to keep the web fairly
universal?
Hi Ted
You can find what Joe Clark has to say on the subject here: http://joeclark.org/book/sashay/serialization/Chapter08.html#h2-3090
I design within the public sector and so use the UK government guidelines: http://e-government.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/Resources/WebGuidelinesArticle/fs/en?CONTENT_ID=4000019&chk=C7zlV4. Somewhere in there is a list of suggested accesskeys.
As an example, here's the URL to the Equal Web site I'm responsible for: http://www.equal.ecotec.co.uk/access/
Hope that's a start.
Owen
