Access Keys

Access keys are designed to allow easier and faster access to particular items on a web page. As such we use them to provide access to the main menu items of the site as well as quick access to the search feature and printable layout.

The following list replicates the main menu items. The number or letter indicated in brackets after the link is the appropriate acess key for that item.

The technique to using access keys varies depending on your platform and browser. The common techniques are shown below were KEY would be replaced with the appropriate access key:

  • Windows & IE: Press Alt + KEY, then hit enter.
  • Windows & Firefox v1: Press Alt + KEY.
  • Windows & Firefox v2: Press Shift + Alt + KEY.
