Hi Glenda,
Interesting. Has the technology advanced at all since you wrote that
article in 1999? It would be so very nice to have the accesskey as a viable
option.
I heard there is a list of reserved keys floating around out there. I would
be curious to know which keys are actually safe to use.
Does anyone know of that list? Is it even worth trying to implement
accesskeys these days?
Joel
