First, make sure it's not a problem on your end. @Dave Kinsella: I haven't used web-page access keys (as an author or a user) in ages, but it used to work in Gecko. I seem to remember that Opera requires a special key combination that eliminates the chances of interfering with the browser UI; maybe Gecko finally does the same. RTFM, I guess. @chep: The stability of a browser is hardly the concern of the Web Standards Project; after all, it’s not the Web Stability Project. First, make sure it’s not a problem on your end.

It doesn't seem to work on Firefox 2 or Opera 9? Is it just my configuration or is IE7 the only new browser (of the big three windows ones) that supports the “accesskey” attribute.

Firstly, the paragraph used in the demo does not have a closing tag. Secondly, IE doesn't fail to add the padding. IE fails to <em>expand the body to accommodate the padding.</em> This can be seen by narrowing the browser window until the text spans onto 2 lines. You then see the padding is there. If you try some other elements than STRONG though, IE does expand the body. B and I fail, yet CODE does not. Odd! @Gérard Talbot: The link you mention that fails in IE7 after 10 years is interesting.

In firefox I can't even get it to maintain download actions on my linux box. Then I install a simple and most popular theme and the browser crashes 100% percent trying to add a bookmark. Now how does that feature bug get overlooked by someone? So I go over to the support pages and nobody is willing to actually address or is even concerned about the stability problem. Most of the concerns were about people explaining that the instability was in the theme. Well the themes may expose an instability problem that exist in firefox. So you have the inmates running the asylum. If the browser has critical failures on a simple feature like that then who cares if it renders some random blob of images and text properly? Not me.
