Tabindex, Accesskey and others - shortcut navigation
Status of this document
This page is a resource for finding out about shortcut navigation. It was
written by Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org - because I was wondering
about it, but I am likely to use the results as input to W3C
working groups, especially WAI groups. It gathers links to some test pages and
places.
This page may become obsolete, or I may stop maintaining it.

How it works:
Results Smmary:
Tabindex:
- The first tabindex test page just
provides some links, with two of them having tabindex attributes.
- Internet Explorer 4.0 and 5.0 running under Windows select the links
which have a tabindex sequentially (in the order of their tabindex) and
then begin from the top selecting the rest of the links. Netscape under
Windows, up to version 4.7, Opera 3.51, and Lynx under Linux seem to
ignore the tabindex. Internet Explorer and Netscape on the Macintosh,
and Netscape under Linux, do not seem to enable tabbing between links at
all.
- The second tabindex test page includes a
form, and some links inside and outside it. There are tabindex attributes on
some form elements and some links.
- No results available yet
- The third tabindex test page includes some
links with a tabindex specifying a different order to normal
