ALT TEXT NOT DELETING
Hello I have a module I am adapting for 508 compliance. (a topic to which I'm quite new). The request is to leave text boxes visible in the focus order, but without any alternate text. I have del...
Was this resolved? I'm experiencing the same behavior. If I have text in the alt text field but want to delete it to return it to blank, I am unable to do so. The previously saved text keeps reappearing. This happens when editing the text via the Accessibility tab and via the Focus Order tab.
Hello Kara!
I'm happy to help! I understand that you want the alt text field to be blank. Is this an object that can be ignored by a screen reader? If it's not essential for understanding the purpose of the content, then I'd hide it from assistive technology by unchecking the Object is visible to accessibility tools box.
Please let me know if you have additional questions!
I need the object to be read by a screen reader. It happens on my answer choices in a custom “pick many” question. I’ve attached my Storyline file. There are 5 answer choices. If you view the alt text for each, you see other phrases because I duplicated the question. On normal text boxes, if I duplicate the element and delete the alt text, the field stays blank and it knows to grab the text from the text field itself. On these answer choices, if I delete the alt text, the previously saved text returns. This happen both by right-clicking on the element and selecting ‘Accessibility’ or when I try to delete the text from the Focus Order menu.
