Re: QUESTION: Access Keys

A group I know are experimenting with access keys for button clicks. They
have found that in MS IE4, typing an access key combination such as ALT+S is
equivalent to clicking the button. But in IE5, it only puts the focus on the
button but does not click it. Is there a work around for this?
They have also found that on some machines they have to press Shift+ALT+S to
get the access key to work, which sounds like an altogether more complicated
problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Mark
