Tabing through input fields - yellow box

Hi Vero!

Here's how to disable the yellow accessibility box:

Hi Ravindra!

You can't customize the tab order of player navigation elements, but you can skip them when you're tabbing through a slide with a screen reader.

Figured out a work around for this....  Simply place an object such as a shape off screen.  This will keep the Tab focus on the slide.

Still am curious if there is anything in SL to prevent this.

Are you using the release version, or an earlier (trial/beta) build?

This sounds like the "Scary omnipresent yellow box of accessibility" bug that was sorted a few days before release.

Hi Bill,  there is a setting that controls this. Right Click on the object and select the Size and Position option. Check the Alt Text to see if the "Object is visible to accessibility tools" is enabled. If it is you will get this yellow box when using the Tab. If this is not selected and you are still getting the yellow box, it is a bug.

Missed that Nancy - thanks for clarifying.

Hey Bruce,

Yeah, I'm still on RC9 and yes that's exactly what it is.. Just didn't remember that's what it was for.

Hi Nancy,

Though i'm still on RC9, when I would tab to the next text field the entire slide would highlight yellow as opposed to the text field itself.

Hi Bill,  RC9 had a bug in it that caused this yellow box to appear.  They provided a fixed version during the test cycle but unless you downloaded it, you might still be running the version with the bug. I suggest downloading the  trial version of the released product.

Hi, I have this problem, I have a number of input fields that the user presses tab to jump to the next input field, however, when Tab is pressed a yellow outline box appears and it is so inconvinient, Is there any way to disable this yellow box for the entire scene(menus, volume, menu items), please it is really important.

I am using the storyline version 0812.
