Storyline 360 - Is there a way to make all answers to questions tab-able?
Hello AAndres_RGR!
I'm glad that Elizabeth was able to help you here with reasoning and a possible solution.
I wanted to share some additional information that may help your client.
Radio Buttons:
Radio button questions like True/False, Multiple Choice, and Pick One include a button set that only allows one selection within the group.
- Screen readers indicate to users that a radio button is part of a set, such as "radio button one of four."
- So, it's a tab stop to the interaction, then navigate using arrow keys through the answer choices.
Note: Empty radio buttons occur on page load but will auto-select as you move through the buttons, or the space bar will select.
Checkboxes:
Checkbox questions like Multiple Response and Pick Many allow multiple selections and the independent choice of one or more options.
- Screen readers announce each checkbox individually and in its state.
- Think about selecting all of your interests from a list, which could include anything from gaming to napping. These interests could be totally unrelated.
- So, each checkbox is focused and tabbed individually.
Note: The space bar toggles a checkbox between checked and unchecked states.
This is not a decision we made, but it is the standard, and screen reader users expect this behavior.
Check out these examples:
