I assigned access key e to email input field in a simple html form. I am currently testing this in chrome. So on pressing Alt + e, instead of switching focus to the email input field, the Chrome menu get activated.
How should I go around with this? How to gain focus to the input element on pressing Alt + e.
Any ideas?
Thanks
The implementation of accesskey attributes is browser-dependent, see some of the variation.
It also interferes with the built-in accesskey assignments that browsers or assistive software may have. It is therefore not recommended by accessibility specialists.
On my Chrome, an element with accesskey="e" attribute gets focused on, when I use Alt-Shift-E. But I would not have known if I had not checked it.
