This element does not control the rendering or physical relationship between the control and the label the HTML source code order does that.

The function of the property for the LABEL object is the same as the IE implementation for all other elements. The single-character string value is the character key to be used in concert with the OS- and browser-specific modifier key for example Ctrl in IE for Windows to bring focus to the form control associated with the label. This value is best set initially via the ACCESSKEY attribute for the LABEL element.
