i'm slowly bringing my web site up to better accessibility standards and i have a few more things to do like add a skip nav link and access keys. >
Before you add accesskeys, check out http://www.wcagsamurai.org/errata/errata.html#GL9 ... basically the errata captures best practice methodology as it evolved in the years after WCAG 1.0 was released. Accesskeys are problematic between browsers and other software so in general I think the concensus is to concentrate on making the site accessible and usable without custom keyboard controls. eg. rather than an accesskey for your site's search box, use your skip menu to provide a jump link at the start of the document (and not everyone will agree with me even on that point ;)). It's kind of similar to the whole issue of tabindex - don't use it, instead make sure the natural tab order is logical. Same general principle. cheers, Ben -- --- <http://weblog.200ok.com.au/> --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
