jQuery “Access Keys” Plugin Beta 1

March 13th, 2008

any key
Today I completed the first Beta of an Access Keys jQuery Plugin. The basic premise is that it allows you to have access keys automatically assigned to a selection of anchors. Each corresponding anchor will be assigned an access key corresponding to the first available letter not assigned to another anchor of it’s innerHTML. The first occurrence of that letter within the anchor is subsequently underlined.
The source can be found here jquery.accesskeys.js

Prerequisites:

jQuery (obviously!) – grab yourself a fresh copy from http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js

Usage:

$(document).ready(function{
$('#navigation a').accesskeys();
});

Based on an original idea by Lyall Oldfield
