Storyline side menu focus order is incorrect
Tabbing order is incorrect. It should be:
1. Sidebar icon 2. Menu 3. Menu items
The menu items focus order are only accessible last and should be first after selecting the sidebar icon.
Hi Maria,
When using a side bar, the side bar is collapsed. I Tab key to the Hamburger menu and press enter or spacebar to open the sidebar.
From there, the Tab key or arrow key will not go directly in the menu side bar slides.
I am testing my project from a published web and LMS file.
When using the top bar menu, Tab key and use of the arrow keys to move through the different slides are working only when Jaws is not in use.
Hello Mike!
Thanks for sharing those additional details! I have tested this on my end and found a similar experience to what you've shared. When the Menu is collapsed, the tab key moves from the interactive objects on the slide to the navigation buttons. When you end up at the Menu icon and select the Menu icon, the menu titles appear. The next item in the Focus Order is the Resources tab and not the Slide Titles in the Menu. I reached out to our Engineering team and they confirmed this is expected behavior when the sidebar is collapsed. Instead, I'd recommend not collapsing the Menu and giving the learner a choice to collapse the menu if they prefer.
I hope this provides clarity! I'll update this discussion if there are any changes made to this setup.
