Access Keys

All of the access keys work on every page. Browsers with better CSS support, such as Netscape 6.2+ and Mozilla 1+, will display the access keys after the link when set to the ADA enhanced styles as follows: Ask Steely Library!9. Otherwise, the access key is identified in the link's title attribute (which will appear on a mouse over).

Access Key Definitions:

  • access key 1: Steely Library home page
  • access key 2: Skip to Navigation
  • access key 4: Search
  • access key 9: Feedback (Ask Steely Library!)
  • access key 0: Accessibility statement

Browser Support for Access Keys:

  • Mozilla 1+ and Netscape 6+: Alt+accesskey execute the link.
  • Internet Explorer 5.5+: Alt+accesskey focuses on the link. You will need to press Enter
  • Opera 7+: To activate access keys press Shift+Esc and then Control+accesskey. You will need to activate the function each time you use it.
  • Mac users [and Opera users] should substitute the Control key for Alt.

Relative Links

These links aid navigation in text-only browsers such as Lynx. For others:

  • Mozilla 1.1+: select View » Show/Hide » Site Navigation Bar » Show Only As Needed.
  • Opera 7: View » Navigation Bar » Auto.
  • Netscape 6.2-7.0: not supported.
  • Internet Explorer 5.5-6.0: not supported.
