Hi,

There are a variety of video players for Web pages out there. Is there some kind of standard set of keystrokes for operating videos online? Obviously space bar does start/stop on every one we have seen but what about other things like fast forward, volume, etc...??

Thanks

Here is the recommendation of the DHTML Style Guide (an ARIA subcommittee):

Hi Donald,

Thanks!

BTW, have we talked before? Since we have owned Worldspace for a long time, I have talked to lots of Deque folks over the years, but I think I missed you.

Can anyone speak, then, to whether these keystrokes have equivalent spoken commands for those persons with disabilities who use speech recognition software? most media players, as far as I've found, are still inaccessible to us.
