Accesskeys in IE - Element Must Be Visible

Posted in: Tasks Pro™, Development

For accesskeys to work in IE, the element must be visible1, and containing elements must be visible. I’m not sure if this is a recent change in IE or if I changed my code somewhere along the way without realizing the effect it would have in IE.

Here is a simple test case demonstrating this.

I’ve made the necessary adjustments for the upcoming releases of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks, so accesskeys should work in IE again in the next releases.

  1. Not display: none; or visibility: hidden;. [back]
