Hi Barrie,
I agree with what you are saying, but the problems accesskeys cause is too
much of a headache for the time invested.
How have you assigned your keys? Do they clash with default hot keys of the
major screen reading user agents? Have you gone through all this carefully?
What about the

Geoff, from where I sit, I'd have to disagree.
people are wanting more out of the web.
clients are demanding more functionality in web development than just
stuff to read and look pretty.

I agree with what Derek says, and he sums it up nicely.
I have been using accesskeys since WCAG1 came out mid 99, and can cause more

Hi Ted
I've steered clear of access keys as they cause some problems on Safari
etc. After seeing a screen reader in action at a previous WSG meeting in
Sydney there are some much better ways it has to directly access content

6 - Help
7 - Complaints procedure
8 - Terms and conditions
9 - Feedback form
0 - Access key
