TAB order not working
My latest course is behaving funny. I have text boxes on the screen however no matter what I do, I cannot get the tab to go the boxes. I have ensured that the Accessible check box is selected but ye...
Hi Irfan!
Great questions! I'll answer each question individually as you've asked them.
In Storyline 360, Update 38 (Build 3.38.21779.0) non-interactive elements will read out when you move through the slide using the keyboard.
Changing the Tab Order does affect the reading order as a user will move through the slide following the tab order.
Lastly, ChromeVox isn't currently supported so I'm not familiar with its behavior. Storyline 360 courses work with JAWS 16 and later, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack in our supported browsers.
Let me know if there is anything else that I can clarify!
Hi Lauren,
I'm coming to this thread late, but was just upgraded to 360. I understand the screen reader being able to read text elements without the need for tabbing. Here's a question regarding tab order and a text/shape element.
Recently, a non-sighted user asked me if there was a way he could skip a slide without having to tab through every element on screen. Granted this was the SL3 version, but I was curious and was wondering if I created a button using a shape and added the words "Skip Slide" in it, if that would work. So, with my SL360 version, I added a transparent button that has the words "Skip Slide" and placed it at the top of the tab order. Unfortunately, even though I placed it at the top of the tab order, I still have to tab through all of the other elements on the slide before I get to the transparent "Skip Slide" button I created.
In the older SL version, this same user could not click any of the menu items to move past slides he'd already worked through. I'm wondering if the SL360 menu will allow him to navigate through to any slide?
The courses I create are placed in an LMS created by Oracle if that makes a difference.
Any help/suggestions would be great.
