Question

HTML5 TEB Shortcut Tab

Hello,

Does anyone know if the newest version of Captivate fixes the TEB Tab Shortcut bug for HTML5 only?

Basically, if you create a Text Entry Box, and have it validate and set the shortcut to Tab - the simulation would not go to the next slide, but would lose focus and go to URL bar and other places until the Tab key finally went to next slide.  This only happens when publishing as HTML5 only. If you publish as a SWF/HTML5 it's fine, however our group has created a policy of no swf files.  This will cause our software simulations, which are forms that tab from one field to the next, to no longer work.

Does Captivate 2019 fix this issue?

Thank you,

Christine

Have you tried the Preference setting for Restrict Keyboard Tabbing to Slide Items Only?

Hi Rod,

Yes I have with Cap 8 And 9 and when publishing as HTML5 only, it the Tab goes to URL and all accessibility items first before coming back to TEB.

Just out of curiosity, with the system you are trying to simulate, how does it actually work?

Does the user enter information into the text entry box and then hit TAB to validate the entry, or is there a Submit button or something that they need to click that validates the text entered, or is the entry validated automatically and they only need to hit TAB to move to the next field?  Which way does the actual software work?
