Access Key Highlighter plugin for jQuery now available

I’ve just published my first jQuery plugin release. It’s a port of my Access Key Highlighter control for ASP.NET AJAX that I released last year. I’ve rewritten the control for jQuery and plan to implement new features in both versions of the control from now on. You can see a live demo of it running at http://files.damianedwards.com/AccessKeyHighlighter/jQuery/

    Что то слишком мудрено… И по-моему расчитано на блогера чем на вебмастера

    Very nice plug-in — very much want to use — but I’m having an issue when I try to incorporate this on a page within a ASP.NET Master Page — assuming the Master page is garbling one of the elements that you’re looking for… Please let me know if you can simulate the same situation. Thanks — and again, very nice plugin.

    Which version are you using? I updated the original release with some fixes caused by invalid or bad HTML, e.g. with the “for” attribute set.

      I dl’d the version you had on the site as of June 1st — have you had success in using this within a project using an ASP.NET Master page? If so, would love to see a demo project if at all possible. Most appreciated either way!

    I’ve sent you an example of using the plugin with an ASP.NET page based on a Master Page. You shouldn’t have to do anything special. Note that if you are using ASP.NET AJAX you might be better using the original version I wrote for ASP.NET AJAX at http://www.codeplex.com/accesskeyhighlighter

    Are you adding the accesskey for combo dropdowns?

    Justin, combo dropdowns ( elements) are a tricky one because under all the HTML & XHTML doctypes the accesskey attribute is not allowed. No idea why, it just isn’t. So I omitted support for it to encourage compliant markup.
