underline accesskey in ASP.NET

[ringo747]

hi guys, been through loads of sites and cannot find out how to do this.

I am looking to underline the first letter of an asp:button control which has been assigned an accesskey. If it was a normal button i could add a span between the opening and closing tags but this is an asp:button ending with a /> and you cannot separate the start and end tags.

The code is like this:

<asp:button text="Save" Accesskey="S" .../>

As the button label text is coming from the text attribute i cannot add css styling to this or anything. I have tried settings a cssclass with :first-letter styling to underline but this doesn't work either.

I have also tried putting text between the open and closing tags but it doesn't work i.e.

<asp:button text="Save" Accesskey="S" ...>Text here</asp:button>

Anyone got any ideas? Thanks

This may be possible with javascript but i have never tried anything like it :s

I think its down to the browser to render the keyboard shortcut, it might be a setting in your browser that isn't on...

still struggling to find a solution to this one. Anyone know if it would be possible with javascript?

Like I said it can be done using a <button> tag but can't find a solution when using <asp:Button>

This may work but i cant try it out as i dont have visual studio on this computer atm. Try putting in the text property of the asp button "<u>S</u>ave". This may work as when the asp is converted to html it will place this in the text to be displayed part of the button. Let us know if it works
