Details

Pressing Alt-A doesn't do anything when the following source code is viewed in the browser: Press Alt-A to access <a accesskey="a" href="http://www.mozilla.org/">mozilla.org</a>. (Mac users: press Command-A.) Expected behavior is that mozilla.org is loaded in the browser.

Hello? McFly? What on earth does a command accelerator have to the parser? Please rethink your problem statement, then resubmit this bug to the correct owner.

I have no idea what the heck the ACCESSKEY attribute has to do with the parser. My mistake. Changing to event handling in hopes that that's more accurate... (BTW, this isn't a command accelerator as it has nothing to do with the browser UI, I believe.)

Please note that my original description is poor. I meant to say: To reproduce this bug, create a simple HTML document with the following code in it: <a accesskey="a" href="http://www.mozilla.org/">mozilla.org</a> When you load that HTML document in the browser, pressing Alt-A should then do the same thing as clicking on 'mozilla.org' (that is, it should open http://www.mozilla.org in the same window). However, in the 03-Mar build, it does nothing. This code does work in IE 4.01 if you'd like to see what it's supposed to do.

Putting on M4 radar...not a Dogfood blocker.
