Text field problem when viewing course on a Mac?

May 04, 2015

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I've created an activity with blank text fields where I would like the learner to type answers. When I try to view this on a mac, the cursor blinks but I cannot enter anything with my keyboard. It seems to work fine on a pc.

Here is the link to view online. http://www.patriciametzthompson.com/mynetwork/story.html

If anyone has time to test it out I'd really appreciate suggestions!

Thanks,

Patricia

Hi, Patricia - 

I was able to test the functionality you mentioned in the link you provided on a Mac, and it worked properly for me. Could you please check out this info on System Requirements? Hope that helps, and if issues persist, you are always welcome to share your file here and we can take a look for you.

Hi Christie,

Thanks for your reply. I was hoping this was only happening on my home computer but I just tried it again on a different mac and it does the same thing.

When the story first launches and the learner tries to enter information in one of the text entry fields it is not possible to type anything using the keyboard unless you click somewhere outside the story first. (like in the search bar) Then the cursor will become active.

I have no idea how to fix this or what might be causing it.
