508 Compliance, Quiz Radio Button and JAWS Reader

Hello All, I'm using Captivate 5.5. The 508 compliance issue I'm having is that the Captivate-generated quiz radio buttons are not being properly read by JAWS. The 508 finding states, "When the user selects a radio button anywhere in the course, the state of the radio buttons are not made correctly for JAWS to read. Selected radio buttons are read as "unchecked radio button". Has anyone experienced and overcome this issue? How did you overcome?

You've encountered the major accessibility show stopper in using the pre-made question slides. Captivate does not allow you to set the name, role, or state for the buttons on the quiz slides, and unlabeled buttons are a deal killer for any 508 compliance test I have ever worked on. See if your testing group will allow you to include a text equivalent test that a visually impaired user can access and take either proctored on do an alternative submission. If the quiz needs to be scored for completion, there's no way to currently pass a 508 accessibility test with the standard question slides otherwise. If its just a knowledge check that will not be scored, you may be able to create a description of the question and answers and put it in the slide notes area of your slide, JAWS will read that first. you would also need to have a way for the user to get past the slide without navigating it. Details follow:
JAWS 14 reads a four answer multiple choice question slide as follows (using either tabbing or arrow keys):
1. Slide Title
2. Question Title
3. Question Text
4. radio button (unchecked) - fails 508 testing
5. text for answer A
6. radio button (unchecked) - fails 508 testing
7. text for answer B
8. radio button (unchecked) - fails 508 testing
9. text for answer C
10. radio button (unchecked) - fails 508 testing
11. text for answer D
12. radio button (unchecked) - fails 508 testing
13. Submit button
14. Question # of #
This means that a visually impaired user has to:
1. figure out that the button before each answer is related to the following answer
2. navigate through the entire slide to the submit button to be sure they have hear any and all choices
3. navigate back to through the question and answers
4. select the button that matches up with the answer; then navigate back to the submit button
5. select the submit button and (at least in Captivate 7.01.237) listen to the feedback box that opens after activating the submit button
6. navigate to the next button or playbar
In short - if you are working off an LMS that has an accessible testing area built in, build your tests there and provide a link from the last frame of your Captivate lesson. Score the test seperately from completion of your Captivate lesson.

Adobe Captivate - Multiple Choice Quiz Question - Radio Button and Text Alignment

I have created a quiz with multiple choice questions.
No matter what I do I cannot align the radio button and the text for the choices (see below).
I would like to align the center of the radio button with the center of the letter A) and B).
I have tried every option that I can think of in the Properties options.
Please let me know if anyone has a solution for this.
Thank you

Thanks for the reply.
Previously I tried several different combinations of fonts and font sizes, but didn't see any change.
Does anyone else know of anything else that could effect this situation?

How to create popup window with radio buttons and a input field

Hi Guys,
Can somebody give some directions to create a stand alone program to create a window popup with 2 radio button and an input field for getting text value. I need to update the text value in a custom table.
I will call this stand alone program from an user exit.
Please give me the guidance how go about it or please give any tutorial you have.
Thanks,
Mini

Hi,
There are multiple aspects of your requirements. So let's take them one at a time.
You can achieve it in the report program or you can use a combination of the both along.
You can create a standalone report program using the ABAP Editor (SE38). In the report program you can call the SAP Module pool program by CALL Screen <screen number>. And then in the module pool program you an create a subscreen and can handle the window popup with 2 radio button and an input field for getting the text.
For help - Module Pool programs you can search in ABAP Editor with DEMODYNPRO* and you will ge the entire demo code for all dialog related code.
For Report and other Module pool help you can have a look at the following:

Please help! How can I validate Radio Buttons and List Menu with PHP.

Hello everyone, I have been learning PHP step by step and
making little projects.
The point is I find it easy to learn by doing "practical
projects."
I have been reading the David Powers's Book on PHP Solutions
and it's really great, however there is nothing mentioned regarding
Validating Radio buttons. I know the book cannot cover every aspect
of PHP and maybe someone in here can help.
I have been learning how to process HTML forms with PHP.
The problem is every book or tutorial I have read or
encountered fall short on validation.
I'm wondering how I can learn to validate Radio Buttons and
Select List Menu.
I have managed to create validation for all other fields but
have no clue as to how I can get validation for Radio Buttons and
List Menu.
I would also like an error message echoed when the user does
not click a button or make a selection and try to submit the form.
I would appreciate any help.
Patrick

It's not that default value is "None." In fact it's not. It
will only be
"none" when the form is submitted.
Also if your submit button is names 'send' then
$_POST['send'] will only be
set if the form was submitted.
Make sure you didn't hit the refresh button on your browser
which usually
reposts the information. Also make sure you did not reach the
form from
another form with the same button names.
Otherwise paste the snippet.
Also you can check what fields are set in the post array by
adding this to
the top of (or anywhere on) your page:
print_r($_POST);

Is it possible to flip the multiple choice quiz "radio" button from left to right of the answers?

Hello forum,
I am using Captivate version 6.1.0.319 on a Windows 7 desktop PC and would like to know if it is possible to flip the multiple choice quiz "radio" button from left to right of the answers. I am working on a project that uses the "Require Right to Left composer" within the Global Preferences: General settings. The captions has been switched from left to right but the quiz answer radio buttons did not. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, in advance.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
I'm not aware of such a possibility. A workaround could be to create your own MCQ slides, using standard objects and widgets like the radiobuttons widget (there is an enhanced version created by Jim Leichliter) and advanced actions. These articles were written for previous versions, but can give you an idea about the work involved:

Radio Button and combo box in Pdf Report.

Hi,
I have to make a PDF report with text box,radio buttons and combo boxes.
The data in the text box will populate from the data base table.
Similarly the radion button will enable the particular radio button from a set of available radion buttons as per the value from the database.
Same with combo boxes.
The report putput should come in PDF.
Thanks

Hi,
The report sud be pdf output with details like name of person showing in textbox ,then there will be list of radio buttons out of which particular radio button will be checked as per the option for that particular person in the database.same with combox with for example A,B,C option from the look up is coming but it will be showing the option as per the name of person.We can take the name of person as the primary key.
The Problem with input controls is that they can be used to filter the report as radio buttons and combo box but they can't be sown in the report itself.

Help with cfinput radio button and text fields

I have a series of radio buttons that allow a user to select
monetary values but I also want them to be able to define an amount
if they choose so. I was planning on doing this by providing a
radio button with the value of other and then using a text field to
allow the user to enter the monetary value. The problem with this
is that they might enter a user defined monetary value but forget
to set the radio button to "other".
I was hoping that I could set the "other" text input field to
read only until the point that the user selects the "other" radio
button. Is there a way to do this using onSelect or another method.
Or is there a better way to approach this problem? Thanks for any
help or advice in advance.

Hi,
You could call a js function which will select the radio
button "other " when the user types something in(there are various
events on cfinput). This way the user will not have to worry about
selecting the radio button and your requirement will be satisfied.
Hope this Helps.
Thanks,
Bhakti

Save Status of Radio Buttons and Variables

I designed a form that uses a Raddio Button with three choices. These choices selectibles enable/disable areas of the form. The user will save the form with a different name for archival. Right now if I save the form, the status of the Radio Button and variables used in the JS code are not stored. So if I open the saved file, the form will not reflect the original status of Radio Button and variables.
What's the best way to implement this?
Can I save the status of the Radio Button (choice selected) and variables when the user saves the form and then restore them when opened back?
Thank you.

Without knowing more about what you're doing, it's hard to give specific information. I'm not sure what you mean about the status of the radio buttons since when a form is saved, their state won't change when it's reopened. For saving data, you certainly could use a hidden field and read it in using a script that executes when the form is opened.

Radio buttons and Checkboxes to change appearance when selected

Hi guys!
Help needed.
I want my check boxes and radio buttons when selected to change color from black to "0,64,128", size from 12 to 14 and to become bold.
Also the default appearance for checkboxes is cross, but I need it to be a check mark.
I would be so much thankful if you could give me some advice.
THANK YOU!
Maria

Hi Bibhu,
Thanks for quick response!
For check mark -- thanks! How could I not see that option!
For radio button -- it's not working.
I found this helpful tips on changing appearance of the radio buttons and check boxes. http://www.assuredynamics.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Assure-Dynamics-Checkboxes-and-Ra dio-Buttons-Rev-1.pdf
I used the first script, but I got an error message. I can't understand what I am doing wrong. It says: "Syntax error near token "{" on line 2, column 1.
I am confused.
Help appreciated.

Run time change # of radio button and boolean text

does Labview 8 support run time programmically change number of radio button and boolean text for each radio button?
Thanks,
DG

You can also customize a slide control to look like radio buttons. You can control the text labels and the number of element through a property (by changing the scale properties). If you really want it to look like radio buttons, you can try ripping the images from the dialog radio button. Also, to save some time, you can get the OpenG buttons package, which includes a slide customized to look like radio buttons. The main problem with this is that changing the number of items does not change the size of the control and that makes the dot filling the radio buttons look compressed.
Another option is to create an array of radio buttons, but then you will have to handle the logic yourself.
Try to take over the world!

Radio button and group

Hi All,
Not quite follow what dev guide says about radio button and group implementation.
I tried but always got strange behavior.
I have a subtab with two radio buttons (rbt1 and rbt2)
rbt1 property defined as:
Initial Value: Y
Checked Value: Y
Unchecked Value: N
rbt2 property defined as:
Initial Value: Y
Checked Value: N
Unchecked Value: Y
Also, In my subtab PR, I init these two bts as a group:
OAMessageRadioButtonBean colButton1 =
(OAMessageRadioButtonBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("rbt1");
colButton1.setName("colGroup");
colButton1.setSelectedValue("Y");
OAMessageRadioButtonBean colButton2 =
(OAMessageRadioButtonBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("rbt2");
colButton2.setName("colGroup");
colButton2.setSelectedValue("N");
When the subtab render first time, rbt1 is checked and rbt2 is unchecked as expected. but when I go to other subtab then come back, the rbt1 is unchecked and rbt2 is checked (switch automatically).
The subtab PR is the only place I set this radio button value and group as showing above. Somewhere wrong with my logic or setting?
Regards,
KJ

Hi All,
Got issue resolved. When I was replying Ranjit previous post, I mentioned both of buttons bind to same VO attribute. Since the first rbt1 has defined checked and unchecked values (Y & N) and both of buttons are defined in same group, so I took off second rbt2 attribute binding then it works (won't switch automatically anymore).
I still defined init values for both of buttons and also removed setSelectedValue() method calls from PR.
Thanks again for the great helping.
KJ

Radio Buttons and Event Structures

Guys, I am hoping for some help here on something I probably should know but cant figure out how to do. I am using a set of radio buttons and an event structure to run a UI. The radio buttons are acting as both a user input and indicator of current status selected by the user. I have the event structure set to run on value change of the radio button. All works great unless the operator decides that he wants to repeat the selection that the radio button is already set to. The event structure does not recognize this as a change of value and will not execute. Is there a way to set the event structure up to run even if the same selection of the radio button is made a second time? I attached a crude example to this post. Basically everytime I press the button, I want an entry made into the text box, regardless if the selected item was already pressed. Any thoughts.

Instead of hacking around the inherent nature of radio buttons, why not just use a Cluster? Its behavior in the UI is more customizable. Check this out:
I just replaced your radio buttons with a cluster, and added a little logic to the event structure to get it to behave the way you describe. I've attached the VI below, saved in 8.2, if you want to try it out.
Hope this helps,
