Customizing atl text for lightbox close button in SL360
Good morning e-learning enthusiasts,
I am creating an e-learning course which relies in part on lightboxes. The boxes themselves function beautifully with screen readers and the content is easily ordered with tabs, however, the button that closes the lightbox is not in the tab order menu for editing. I checked in the player options to no avail. Please direct me if I am overlooking a simple setting or if you have discovered a good workaround.
I am using SL360 and have a lightbox where I can't edit the alt text for the exit button. I know this thread says the issue was corrected, but JAWS doesn't identify the exit button as the exit but rather as "unlabeled 2 button" - is there a resolution for this?
Hi Nicole,
Thank you for reaching out and letting us know!
It looks like we have an active report on the issue you are describing where the lightbox close button is being read as "Unlabeled Button." I will include your notes for our team, and we will continue to investigate this issue further!
You're in the right place, and we'll be sure to reach out with an update as soon as we can!
Vincent,
I'm glad to have found this thread! Some of our courses go through an intense, external 508/accessibility review... We just got one back and the biggest issue is that the lightbox close button is simply labeled as "button". I too welcome an update to this issue. Thanks!
Good morning news, everyone!
Update 40 for Storyline 360 is live: We fixed the issue where the lightbox close button would read as 'Button' by NVDA and 'Unlabeled button' by JAWS.

Hi Everyone,
focus order is going out of the light box, how can I avoid that.
it is not going anywhere else on the player.
Please suggest.
Hi, Kirankumar.
Thank you for reaching out!
I'm not sure I understand the question. It looks like, from your screenshot, the focus is on the menu button. Are you looking to restrict the focus to the lightbox slide only?
Yes right.
sorry for the wordings.
Hi Kirankumar!
I found an article that may help you restrict the focus to the lightbox slide only.
I hope that helps, and please let me know if you need additional assistance!
Hi All,
Thanks for the help.
