Tabing through input fields - yellow box
I have a number of input fields that the user presses tab to jump to the next input field - similar to how you might tab from field to field when logging in to something. However, when Tab is pressed a yellow outline box fills the slide area or other UI items if i just keep clicking Tab.
I know this was a Flash functionality w/ the Tab key, but is there a way to disable it in SL?
thx

- BillHarnageCommunity MemberFigured 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. - JakeduToit-cf18Community MemberAdobe Captivate... 
 
- NancyWoinoskiSuper HeroHi 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.

 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. 
- NancyWoinoskiSuper HeroHi 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. 
- veroomCommunity MemberHi, 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. Vero 
- PeterAndersonFormer StaffHi Vero! Here's how to disable the yellow accessibility box: 
- veroomCommunity MemberHi Peter Thanks for answer, but I have yet the yellow box for the menu, botons or others UI, it disable for MY objetcs but not for objetcts of storyline, How can I disable definitly this yellow box. thanks Vero 
- PeterAndersonFormer StaffHi Vero, Thanks for clarifying. Currently, the only workaround is to place one or more objects off-slide so that the accessibility box goes there first. Please feel free to fill out a feature request form to let our developers know it's important to you to have the ability to remove it from all slide and player elements. Thanks! 
- AngieLelandCommunity MemberIs there more to it than just adding an object off slide? I added a shape off slide and still get the yellow box when I tab on that slide.
