GRIN has been designed to the Section 508 Standards Guidelines. In addition, GRIN is completely keyboard accessible through the use of Access Keys. Currently, Access Keys work within the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser (4.x and above) environment and not within Netscape browser(4.x).
Each GRIN Page has standard Access Keys for your use. An access key is activated by pressing the "alt" key and the assigned "letter" key simultaneously on your keyboard.
If the action is a URL you then press enter, if the action is a button the action will automatically activate.
Some Keys are not applicable to the functionality of a page, and are non-functional.
These are above the standard MSIE browser or Netscape control keys.
