How does one set the Tab Index from within DW???
And can someone please explain the concept of Access Key?
TIA!

If you have MX2004, either right click and efit tag or use Code View.
Code View will pop up code hints as you edit a tag's attributes.
While it could become a religious discussion, Accesskey is a relatively
useless technique. Typically, the only people who know how to use it are
web developers into accessibility coding. Browser support is not
consistent. You can easily overwrite an active key combo used by the
browser itself.
Google on accesskey and you'll find quite a few discussions.

Thanks Al, I do have MX2004, but... when I right click something (the first
nav button on the page for example) and select Edit Tag, I don't see
anywhere in there where I can set a Tab Order. What am I missing???
In terms of concept... do I presume that Tab Order should be determined by
the author? Something along the lines of navigation first, followed by any
other links on the page, in sequential order???
TIA!

Right click the tag in Code View and choose edit. Macromedia has a very
"unique" approach to interface design :-)
Tab index should be determined by first tabbing through your document to
see the natural tab order and adjusting for how you'd like it to be.

Now I'm starting to feel silly. When I right click on something in code
view and select Edit Tag, I am presented with the Tag Editor which gives me
items like: General, Style Sheet/Accessibility, Dynamic, Language, Content,
and +Events. Nowhere under ANY of those items, on ANY tag I've right
clicked on is there anything looks or sounds remotely like Set Tab Order!!!
Aarrgghhh!

Right-click an <a> tag. Select the Accessibility category and you should
see Access Key and Tab Index as the two last choices.

Thank you for your patience, AL! I see them now.
