So, I'm testing all different HTML tags and attributes, freshing things up a bit, and for some reason, accesskey does not appear to be working.
The accesskey attribute is used to assign a key to an element. Depending on your OS, pressing Alt+that key (Windows) or Cmd+that key (Mac) will give focus to that element.
Here's a little something:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-us">
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<style type="text/css">
a:focus{
color:red
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a accesskey="x" target="new" href="#">Hello</a>
</body>
</html>
So I'm working on a Windows machine. Thusly, I expect the anchor to go red when I press Alt+x. Yet it is not. Is there something wrong with the code, or am I expecting the wrong thing to happen?
On Firefox, nothing happens. Google chrome opens a new tab (as it should, the target attribute say "new", which means open in new tab/window) and IE jumps to the anchor but does nothing further.

Firefox's accesskey modifier is Shift+Alt.
