Tab Order May 27, 2019 By Sam Carter Is there a way to make a text input field "next" when a learner presses TAB (perhaps return) in another input field?

Sam Carter Author almost 5 years ago05/28/19 at 9:39 pm (UTC) Hi Leslie, I see it in both the graphic and preview. I don't see how this is achieved. I have two questions: - Is it possible to set focus to a text entry field on timeline start? - How do you set the tab order so that the second text entry follows the first?

Sam Carter Author almost 5 years ago05/29/19 at 2:14 pm (UTC) There's always something to learn in SL. I'd never worked with Text Entry and never had these issues. Still wish there was a way to set focus though.
Leslie McKerchie Staff almost 5 years ago05/29/19 at 2:40 pm (UTC) Hi Sam, My first text entry field is in focus when navigating to the slide. Be sure that it's the last item in your timeline :) I recorded a quick Peek 360 video to demonstrate as well.
Sam Carter Author almost 5 years ago05/29/19 at 3:07 pm (UTC) I will look at this later. It would be a better solution if the first in the Tab Order was on-focus. There are graphics that will appear last on the timeline on most slides.
