Hi John, I just wanted to know if/how i could get CSS NavMenu to support the accesskey attribute for keyboard navigation? Could you let me know if it's possible? Thanks, Dan.

Hi Dan, This would be possible with version 3.0 using a template, but I do not have that attribute being output in the built-in NavTypes. You could probably also do it with the replacements property that was introduced in later versions of the 2.0 menu, but it may be difficult to get it to use a different one for each item. Try something like Replacements="<a([^>]+)>(.)=<aaccesskey='$2' $1>$2" The above replacement will attempt to grab the first letter of the tabname and make it the key.

Hi John, thanks for the reply. I was thinking that it would work with the templates in version 3, which we have. Would the Replacements method work within the templates? Cheers, Dan.

Hi Dan, If you are using a template then you would not need the replacements method. You could just put the TabId into each item node.
