How to disable seamless tabbing

I found the following tip, but am not able to find the "XobjectX" code in the HTML file that the tip mentions. If anyone can help out with this, I'd appreciate it:

How to disable seamless tabbing in a browser
When using a click box with a Tab key shortcut assigned, the tab action can change the focus from the SWF file to the browser itself. This does not create a realistic Simulation, and can confuse learners when they attempt to use keyboard shortcuts in the tutorial.
The reason for this is in the browser—a behavior called Seamless tabbing, which allows tabbing to extend beyond the movie and start with the browser address bar. To disable, follow these steps:
1) Open the HTML file that Adobe Captivate generates, in a note pad or HTML editor.
2) Between the XobjectX tags, add this parameter:
name="SeamlessTabbing" value="false"
3) Save the HTML file.
Your tabbing will now stay within the movie. It works for Internet Explorer and FireFox.

Hi Barbara

What you are looking for is a tag labeled <object>. In case that doesn't come through and display properly (which is perhaps why they substituted X on either end as opposed to < and >, I'll list it with spaces between the opening < and the closing >.

< object >
< /object >

Does that make things a bit clearer and easier to understand?

Hope so... Rick

Thanks. I did a Find in Notepad and found the code. I'm a little hesitant to use the tip, though, because it says that it works for Internet Explorer and FireFox, which implies that it doesn't work in all browsers.
