18.5. Setting a Shortcut
Key for an Anchor Link in XHTML MP
The
accesskey attribute of the <a> tag is used to set a
shortcut key for an anchor link. Valid attribute values are *, #, 0,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
The
following XHTML MP example demonstrates how to set a shortcut key
using the accesskey
attribute:
(linksEg6.xhtml)
<?xml
version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
"-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">
<html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>XHTML
MP Tutorial</title> </head>
<body> <p> This
is page 1.<br/> <a accesskey="1"
href="linksEg7.xhtml"><img src="to2.gif"
alt="Go to linksEg7.xhtml"/></a> </p> </body> </html>
(linksEg7.xhtml)
<?xml
version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
"-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">
<html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>XHTML
MP Tutorial</title> </head>
<body> <p> This
is page 2.<br/> <a accesskey="1"
href="linksEg6.xhtml"><img src="to1.gif"
alt="Go to linksEg6.xhtml"/></a> </p> </body> </html>
If
you view the above two XHTML MP documents in a mobile phone browser,
you will see that the anchor link is activated automatically when you
press the "1" key of the mobile phone's keypad.
It
should be noted that if the above XHTML MP example is viewed on
Internet Explorer of a PC, the anchor link will be set in focus but
will not be activated automatically when the shortcut "Alt + 1"
is pressed.
The
-wap-accesskey property of WAP CSS can be used as an alternative of the accesskey
attribute.
