Synopsis

ACCESSKEY=”character"

Optional

A single character key that brings focus to the element. The browser and operating system determine if the user must press a modifier key (e.g., Ctrl, Alt, or Command) with the access key to bring focus to the element. In IE 4/Windows, the Alt key is required, and the key is not case sensitive. This attribute does not work in IE 4/Mac.

Example

<SELECT NAME="chapters" ACCESSKEY="c">
...
</SELECT>
