Swedish accesskey standard
Is is good with a standard for accesskeys?
Funka Nu have now with the 24hr web project set a de-facto standard for accesskeys.
Here is a translation from their page.
- S - Go to content
- 0 - About the website, accessability information
- 1 - Startpage
- 2 - News
- 3 - Sitemap
- 4 - Search
- 5 - FAQ
- 6 - Help
- 7 - Contact

Is this a good or bad thing? Standards are of course good, but are they only working for Swedsih sites, then I am not sure. Are you?

I am looking into adding access key to my web site (http://www.bhagooa.com) and of course the question is which one to use?!? This article shows one solution. Is it a good solution? Is it a standard solution? I guess I have to keep looking o_O

I found that on a UK web site (http://rime.tees.ac.uk/sncru/accessibility.htm):
Standard keys S — Skip to content 1 — ARC Home page 3 — Site map 4 — Search 0 — access key details
ARC Edited keys: 2 — Events 5 — Projects 6 — Publications 7 — Partners 8 — People 9 — Links
Quite similar from what the article said, so I might just use that!!

Alixe: Thanks for the comments. The accesskeys are quite common here in Sweden. The acceskeys Funka.nu writes about is probably a mix between what is used in England and US. The accesskeys are now a recomendation for Swedish goverments to us. So it is a kind of “standard” here in Sweden.
