Long story short, accesskeys were an idea that worked better on paper than they did in practice. They inevitably interfered with normal browser operation as well as other accessibility features in such a way as to * reduce* the accessibility of many web pages. The intended replacement is the XHTML

2008-01-25 Thread Jerason Banes
To add to what Christoph is saying, perhaps there's a better way to look at this problem? A reverse list has both a start and an end, just like any other list. The key is that it's displayed in the opposite order of a regular list. This raises the question, why does the list need to be *serialized

long enough and hard enough for Theora, it will become a new standard alongside these existing formats, much like PNG. Especially if a few major web browsers ship Theora support long enough to assuage fears over its unknown patent status. Thanks, Jerason Banes On Dec 12, 2007 6:00 AM, Sangh

You may know this already, but the on* handlers have been deprecated and replaced with the DOM 2 Events* standard. So instead of doing 'onclick = "DoFunction()"' the programmer should be calling "element.addEventListener('click', DoFunction, false)". If I understand you correctly, this effectively
