I have general an issue with a text entry box (step-by-step recording) in html5.
Flash is ok: When my slide starts, the cursor appears automatically in the text box. The learner has just to type the answer, without clicking first in the box.
Html5 is not ok: When my slide starts, the cursor appears NOT in the text box. The learner has to click first in the box.
I am creating trainings for software. I want to have that the training matchs the handling in the software. In the software the cursor appears automatically in the text box.
Has anybody an idea how to solve the problem in html5?
Hi Daniela. Thanks for reaching out about your setup and for describing your troubleshooting. We've discovered an issue where the focus (cursor) is not automatically set on the text-entry field in the HTML5 output. We've given a report to our QA team to investigate, so I'm going to add your discussion to our notes. That way, we'll be able to update you with information as it available.
Thanks, Ron for the help! I was seeking a workaround too, but one hasn't been noted at this time. In my testing, sending the field to the back didn't particularly work in my file. I understand since it's a software simulation that you're limited in your creativity, so I'm really sorry that this issue arose. We'll post an update here as soon as we can!
Thanks for the correction, Crystal - I was not in a position to test until now . . . that is the workaround we used to use in SL2, but it does not seem to work in HTML 5 for 360. . . yet
I'm happy that you popped in! I was glad to have something to test out, as I hadn't seen any other workarounds mentioned. I did my testing in Storyline 2 though. When you sent the text entry field to the back, was it on a step-by-step screen recording slide? I tried on both a plain slide with text-entry and also a screen recording slide; the screen recording slide had only the text-entry on the timeline, however, and it was in Test mode.

Daniela,
In your timeline, try moving the data entry box down to the bottom (AKA - send to back).

There is an attribute in HTML5 called autofocus: https://www.w3schools.com/TAgs/att_input_autofocus.asp
It does exactly what is needed here: set focus to an input field. Is there any reason why this isn't implemented in SL2 HTML5 output?
Thanks for sharing André. I will add your note to our internal report, but I would not be able to speak to 'why' something wasn't implemented.
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes by the way :)
Hi, does anyone know if this issue has been resolved yet? We are experiencing it with our Storyline 2 Update 11:1609.3020 HTML5 Content
Hi B. This issue was resolved in Storyline 360, but we still have it open in the latest version of Storyline 2, update 13.
Thank for the update Crystal, we will try and work around it.
