ACCESS KEYS HELPER ------------------ This javascript routine parses the DOM tree looking for buttons and links that have an access key defined. The access keys for these elements are then displayed either: 1. Inside an "access_keys" element (if one exists), or 2. At the bottom of the BODY element, inside a newly created "access_keys" element REQUIREMENTS * Prototype * JQuery (if using jQuery - note this example is to show jQuery idiom - you could also pass in function for the formating of the key list - the default format here is promiscuous and works with the current example but may fall over on other html - final note, this code should be TDD/BDD'd) INSTALLATION 1. copy the access_keys.js file into your javascripts folder 2. include a reference to the file inside your HTML See the demo.html file for example usage.
