Sets or retrieves the accelerator key for the object .
Syntax
| < ELEMENT ACCESSKEY = sAccessKey ... > |
| object . accessKey [ = sAccessKey ] |
Possible Values
| sAccessKey | String that specifies or receives a key on an alphanumeric keyboard. |
The property is read/write. The property has no default value.
Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see About Dynamic Properties .
Remarks
By default, the accessKey property sets focus to the object. The object receives focus when the user simultaneously presses the ALT key and the accelerator key assigned to an object. Some controls perform an action after receiving focus. For example, using accessKey on a input type=button causes the onclick event to fire. By comparison, applying the accessKey on a radio button causes the onclick event to fire and toggles the checked property, visibly selecting or deselecting the control.
As of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5, some scoped elements do not implicitly support the accessKey property. Instead, they support the property by setting the TABINDEX attribute to any valid negative or positive integer.
Note For elements that are not tab stops by default, such as a SPAN , the tabIndex property must be set on the element for the accessKey property to function.
Example
This example uses the label object and the accessKey property to set focus on a text box. The rich text support in the label object makes it possible to underline the designated accessKey .
<LABEL FOR="fp1" ACCESSKEY ="1">#Standards Information
