It looks like the accesskey was taken directly from your sample code  
and has nothing to do with the change David was suggesting.  Do you  
have a page on a live server we can look at and see the effect you're  
trying to achieve?  Currently, it appears you're using JavaScript to  
accomplish something that HTML can do just fine.
