When a user presses the tab key on the keyboard to navigate a storyline course (508 compliance necessity) and moves to the next screen, where does the tab arrive? Is is at the top left of the next screen so the screen reader can start reading from there, or does the user start out at the bottom of the next screen? This is a continuing problem with another software and I'd like to know if the "tab' navigation works better in storyline.
Tab navigation on a new slide starts with the top-left object on the slide, moving from top to bottom (and left to right when more than one object is at the same level). After the slide elements are finished, it goes through the player elements.
On page loads, I believe most browsers reset cursor state to the top of the page when a new page loads. Unfortunately, Storyline doesn't include a skip links function or customizable tab order so all of the elements at the top of the page are read and cascaded through first. One way to possibly get around this is to setup a couple of arrows at the top of the slide so the navigation is reached earlier in the tab and read order.
I'd love to see some more dynamic options for cursor control and read order. Not a bad idea to submit a feature request.
Is it possible to order the sequence of the tab order on the player? I seem to be presented with the next and previous buttons before the volume, seek bar and replay functions.
