## Access Key Input Mode (AIM)

The Web browser considers cards that include the accesskey attribute and which require the user to enter text to be in a new Text Entry mode. That new mode is called Access Key Input Mode (AIM). Unlike Text Entry mode, AIM arbitrates dialpad use between the phone and Web applications that use accesskey attributes. When a Web page with one or more valid accesskey attributes loads completely, the Web page takes control of the dialpad.

With Text Entry, text entry is considered complete once a URL is launched and the Web relinquishes control of the dialpad. AIM works differently than standard text editing by maintaining control of the dialpad over the course of loading one or multiple new Web pages. AIM stays in effect until either:

- the user selects another application tab,
- the phone goes off-hook to make or receive a call, or
- a Web page without any valid accesskey attribute is completely loaded.
