Accessibility for text boxes with states
I have a Storyline course that needs to be accessible. There is an interactive screen where the learner clicks icons to reveal additional information. That information is in a single text box. Ea...
Hi, i'm struggling with this in 3.87.32265.0 - i have text that changes depending on the Text Boxes state. How can the text box appear again in the focus order?
For example, 'Button one' changes 'text box' state to 'hello'; 'button two' changes 'text box' state to 'goodbye'.
I want the focus order to be Button one, text box, button two, text box. Is this possible?
Hello JonathanLove-fd,
Thanks for reaching out!
The behavior you described is expected and documented in this article.
Since the text in your text box is only visible when a state change occurs, the text is treated as only existing in the object's state which is why it is not included in the focus order. You can check out this ELH thread where some community members discussed using layers as a way around this limitation.
Hope this helps!
