Text Entry Box requires double click to advance.

When this project is published it is requiring a double click on the TEB submit button to advance.  However, when I preview it in an HTML browser it works as expected by advancing it with one click.

Any ideas on why it is doing that?

Thanks in advance for any help.

    This could be a focus issue.  If your server is an LMS, the content will likely be playing inside a frameset (which may not be visible).  So the first click might be necessary to place focus on the page in the frameset and the second is to put the focus on the TEB.

    Check to see if clicking elsewhere on the page before clicking the TEB makes any difference.

    Published to HTML5? You need to upload to a webserver or, in case of a SCO, to a LMS.

    What's being triggered when you hit submit? Also, are you publishing it to an LMS or as an .exe. file?

    Its being published to a server using the index html.  Yes it is published to HTML5.  When I use the preview function it works with one click.

    This is a text entry box where the student enters his user name.
