How do you add css to Storyline?

Put the placeholder back and run the slide with JAWS to see what happens.

Having two data entry fields on the slide will prevent immediate focus on the first one without a placeholder.

Keep in mind that this is not a standard procedure; we are doing this solely to implement the continuous cursor blinking effect. You can see it in action in the attached video.
