Yes. That is correct. My bad. But, further generally to this area. Then
I was thinking that in a more convoluted way one might yet be able to
use JS with onkeypress event captures, so that JS could still remain
valuable here. So that certain keyboard combination events could be
hooked to send focus to form elements by id. Plausible? Yes? No? Also,
Flash AS has access key attributes to maybe help meet this need too.

Hi Peter,

I think the discussion for accesskey is not about how to JS code to 
access the element but how to allow the user to access a form element or

link without using the mouse or tabbing through other elements to get to

it.
