I want to use a custom Glossary button but not seeing a simple trigger to use to access the Glossary. Is this possible to do? I do not want to use the Glossary button that can be added in the "player properties". Do I need to run JavaScript to make this happen? If so can someone please share ideas?
Hey Kat. I ended up adding a Glossary button to the Slide Master and added my simple glossary as a popup within the Slide Master. It works oks but would have been so much simpler if we could access the actually Glossary.
Mine passed 508. The problem I had was Tab order since that option unfortunately is not available in the Slide Master area. Now mine is just a simple list of words. I am not using anchor tags to jump to a name and so on.

Where / how are you creating the glossary?
I created the Glossary within the Player Properties area but I want to show/view the Glossary with my own custom button.
Untested but I think the JavaScript for the modern player (SL360) would look something like the following:
//to display the glossary using JavaScript
document.getElementById("glossary-link").setAttribute("aria-expanded", "true");
document.getElementById("glossary-panel").style.display = "block";
//to collapse the glossary using JavaScript
document.getElementById("glossary-link").setAttribute("aria-expanded", "false");
document.getElementById("glossary-panel").style.display = "none";
Thanks for the info...will give it a try!
Boo, I tried this, no luck. Russ, did you find a way to make it work?

Hmm. I don't think that will work for my purposes (508 compliant course). I agree that we should be able to link to the glossary.
Thanks for the prompt reply!

I would reach out to the Staff and ask for this feature to be added. Seems like a simple thing to add.
