Using latest Version 7.5.

When I post a reply and in the message box, If I press enter, that just returns the line in the message field, so I press the tab key and it sends me to check box for Forum Codes, Why would you not go first to Post New Topic? Seems I have to press the tab key 15 times to get around to having the Post New Topic activated.

If so, what would be the code to change and in what file?

The tab index was set this high as it was found for some reason IE would submit the form when clicking the space bar sometimes, which was very annoying if you where in the middle of a post and it decided to do this.

OK, Just making sure I was missing some trick to it. Is there anyway to make a shortcut to post a reply, obviously I have some challenged users that are difficultly using keyboard and mouse, They strictly use keyboard. Maybe press alt key and something or some other combanation to not have to press the tab key 15 times?

Again, I understand if IE is not behaving nicely just thinking of our users.

Sure you can, just add this : accesskey="s" to your buttons on the message forms page. Your users will only have to hit alt + s to 'send' the message.

(I use s because it's what they use in php, don't know if you can assign 'any' key..)

Ok, I plea ignorance, as I am new to this. That sounds like it will work, I am just not sure what file I am looking to mod.

So, what file would I add accesskey="s" to what buttons on what message forms page?
