Answer to your first question: not clear; I am using multiple tabs in my browser windwo

Based on the knowledgbase articles, I have the default / standard setting of using Alt+Shift+accesskey

My code is simple:

      <ol  accesskey="s" style="list-style-type: decimal;"         reversed>
        <li>One    </>
        <li>Two    </>
        <li>Three  </>
        <li>Four   </>
        <li>Five   </>
      </ol>

Arg, I forgot to escape the html; maybe

     < ol  accesskey="s" style="list-style-type: decimal;"         reversed>
              < li>One    </li>
              < li>Two    </li>
              < li>Three  </li>
              < li>Four   </li>
              < li>Five   </li>
      < / ol>

(inserting spaces to break the tag recognition)

I'm not sure if this is a useful example of an access key. You normally use an access key is to activate a button or set focus to a input or text element.

What would you expect to happen with the code you posted?


<ol accesskey="s" style="list-style-type: decimal;" reversed onclick="alert('clicked')">
<li>One    </li>
<li>Two    </li>
<li>Three  </li>
</ol>

I understand. I was running some simple experiments and I expected that the list would get the focus (which would require the screen to scroll down to the list) but nothing happened. So, maybe a case of great expectations for small facilities.
