Simple test case
556 bytes, text/html
Details
accesskey doesn't seem to work. It doesn't matter if the accesskey is uppercase or lowercase. Here is my html testcase: <html> <head> <title> accesskey test </title> </head> <body> <form> <input type="radio" name="toggle" id="disabling.radio" accesskey="d" value="1" onclick="disablingOfElements()" /> <label for="disabling.radio"> <u>D</u>isabled elements</label> <br/> <input type="radio" name="toggle" id="enabling.radio" accesskey="e" onclick="enablingOfElements()" /> <label for="enabling.radio"> <u>E</u>nabled elements</label> </form> </body> </html>

Reassigning to Kevin.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Target Milestone: M10
Fails on WINNT using both native and gfx widgets. We need to add support to the label for capturing the access key events and processing them.
Hardware: Macintosh → All
Moving all Widget Set bugs, past and present, to new HTML Form Controls component per request from karnaze. Widget Set component will be retired shortly.

Rod, re-assigning to you. This is similiar to using the space bar to select radio buttons and checkboxes that have focus.
Target Milestone: M10 → M14
Changing to M14

Adding beta1 keyword

PDT would like to know why this is critical/beta1.
Adding [NEED INFO] to Status Summary.
Whiteboard: [NEED INFO]
The accesskey feature is available for users to quickly give focus to a field in a form by typing the key associated with that field. The feature currently does not work and affects the A, AREA, BUTTON, INPUT, LABEL, LEGEND, and TEXTAREA tags. There is no precedent for this feature. New for HTML4.0.
Not essential for Beta.

This is a dup of 959 (or should it be the other way around?) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 959 ***

Actually I am going to reopen this bug. There is really two parts to the bug. This bug which is about having the form controls do the right thing and 959 which is about the event system doing the right thing. I need this bug (gosh I can't believe I said that)

The isControl on line #596 needs to be changed to isMeta per the HTML 4 spec. Access keys work on the Mac with this final fix. reassigning to dcone because I will be on vacation.
