Hi all. I am trying to make my page also user friendly to other people. That is why I would like to make links trought which you could navigate also with keyboard. For now I am using this kind of code:


<a id = "id" title="title" accesskey="p" href="link.php">
<span class=underline><u>X</u></SPAN>yyyyy</a>


But when I try to navigate with my keyboard is almost imposible to get (hit) the link. Browser still selecting other objects on the page (I use mozilla firefox). Is something wrong with the code or my browser.

I hope that you understand my problem :)

THX to all for all replies!

Well to activate the link with the accesskey you posted above you'd have to hit Alt + p is that what you've been doing? If you've just been pressing p then that could explain why it's not been working.

Happy to help. :)

In IE you would need to press Alt + p to select a link, and then press Enter to activate it.
