Automatic Focus Order
I wonder if someone can help me understand the choice for the default for Focus Order. It seems to go in this general format:
Last layer items
Middle layer items
First layer items
Base laye...
Hi again :)
I actually disagree with Lauren. The default order is not in my opinion best practice if you are attempting to create a training accessible for users who use a screen reader or are limited to only using their keyboard. If the base layer is on the bottom, with the other layers stacked on top, the user who accesses the training through the keyboard only has to tab through all the base layer, then either select "back to top" or "exit navigation" or go through all the player controls before they can get to any of the layers. Here are two shortish videos to demonstrate. One is default order. The other is what I've found to work best (in my opinion) for a screen reader.
