SeamlessTabbing in RoboHelp?

[Guest]

Is there seamless tabbing in RoboHelp, and if so, what is the code and where shoud the code be inserted?

A couple of my teammates found code for SeamlessTabbing in Captivate. This prevents extra tabbing in Captivate lessons, and allows the user to tab right to the content.

I have a 508 version of WebHelp, and would like to start tabbing at the first entry in the TOC Navigation pane, bypassing the Internet Explorer address bar, search box, and favorites link. Is there a way to do this? It would make 508 navigation much more helpful to 508 users.

This is RoboHelp10, 508 WebHelp, using IE8 on a Windows 7, 32 bit machine.

HI there

I'm not sure that would apply in RoboHelp.

In Captivate, the seamless tabbing works by keeping focus from leaving the Flash Object in the browser so the browser elements themselves don't gain focus.

But in RoboHelp, it's not really delivered as a single Flash object as it usually is in Captivate.

Thanks Rick. I wonder if there is a way to set focus in an html page?

Hello again

Indeed there is. The trick will be to determine the exact element you want to focus as well as exactly where to place the code, as there are several JavaScript files used with RoboHelp output.
