ADA 508 Compliance Workflow Overview (tab key for navigation / WebAim Toolbar)

Hi,
  I've been assigned to update interactive training for a State agency..... with of course, an emphasis on ADA / 508 compliance.
So, before I pinpoint my two questions/scenarios, here is a basic, initial attempt at providing an overview of ADA compliance workflow in Captivate and beyond. 
PS - useful Captivate forum urls are at the end of this post. I'm using Captivate v.6
ADA Compliance Workflow Overview:
1. All assets need an alt tag and conceivably a description > highlight the asset, like a pic, and click the Accessibility button under Properties.
2. Create slide notes for each slide > load slide, highlight no assets and click the Accessibility tab under Properties. Copy and paste your notes > for screen readers.
3. Need closed captioning for video/audio content > I use Camtasia for CC and will use the JW player for screen reader of video content.
4. Interactivity needs to be accessible via the tab and enter keys.
What else am I missing?
Question 1
My question targets how to get the enter key to initiate after a successful tab. To be clearer.... I hit tab and I can navigate through all the buttons in the correct order, but hitting enter provides no action. I am gettining the yellow highlights around buttons when I tab through. Everything works very well when using the mouse, but blind users don't use mice.
I did create my own animation buttons in Flash and imported them in as animations. I then placed a Click Box behind the button animation to engage the rollover action. Could this be causing problems? The prebuilt (and clunky looking) buttons on the quizzes do work (ie) tabbing to them and hitting enter provides effective navigation.
I'm opting not to use the playback control skin, only my Flash nav bar.
Question 2 (Scenario 2)
I have downloaded the WebAim Toolbar feature designed for FireFox, used to check ADA compliance issues.
I am getting this error message:
A frame does not have a title attribute or value. Okay... I bet I can fix this via the .html file or via the standard.js file??
and these warnings:
Alert: Javascript in head - A javascript element is present in the page head section.
Alert: Flash - A Flash object is present.
Does anyone know if these alerts are worth fixing?
Obviously Captivate is going to pump out, or rather publish... javascript elements, but is this bad in the page head section?
And..... of course a Flash object is present...Captivate produces Flash / Shockwave files.
I'll obviously ask the programmers at WebAim for guidance as well. As always any help would be appreciated and Tanks in advance.

Hi,
  Attached is my zipped project file. I did create my own buttons in Flash - this might be the problem. I have only been problem solving with navigation on the first four slides.
  To clarify, hitting the Enter key does engage navigation, however I’m having difficulty controlling the navigation so that it goes to the correct location.
  I’m using Captivate v.6 / publishing SCORM 1.2 / Using IE to deliver via the SyberWorks LMS.
Here is question 1:

  • Customize "Tab" key for JTextArea to focus next component.

    Hi,
    I am trying to change the "TAB" key behaviour for JTextArea, by using CustomAction configured via InputMap() and ActionMap(). When the user presses the Tab key, the focus should go the next component instead of tabbing in the same JTextArea component. Here is the code for the CustomAction().
        public static class CustomTabAction extends AbstractAction {
            private JComponent comp;
            public CustomTabAction (JComponent comp) {
                this.comp = comp;
                this.comp.getInputMap().put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("TAB"), "TABPressed");
                this.comp.getActionMap().put("TABPressed", this);
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
                Object source = evt.getSource();
                if (source instanceof Component) {
                    FocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().
                            focusNextComponent((Component) source);
        }This works for most of the cases in my applicaiton. The problem is that it doesn't work with JTable which has a custom cell editor (JTextArea). In JTextArea field of JTable, if the Tab is pressed, nothing happens and the cursor remains in the custom JTextArea exactly at the same place, without even tabbing spaces. Here is the CustomCellEditor code.
        public class DescColCellEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor {
    //prepare the component.
            JComponent comp = new JTextArea();
            public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
                    boolean isSelected, int rowIndex, int vColIndex) {
                // Configure Tab key to focus to next component
                CustomActions.setCustomAction("CustomTabAction", comp);
                // Configure the component with the specified value
                ((JTextArea)comp).setText((String)value);
                // Return the configured component
                return comp;
            // This method is called when editing is completed.
            // It must return the new value to be stored in the cell.
            public Object getCellEditorValue() {
                return ((JTextArea)comp).getText();

    >
    textArea.getInputMap().remove(....);but that won't work because the binding is actually defined in the parent InputMap. So I think you need to use code like:
    textArea.getInputMap().getParent().remove(...);But I'm not sure about this as I've never tried it.I tried removing the VK_TAB key from both the input map and parent input map as shown below. But I still have to press "TAB" twice in order to get out of the JTextArea column in JTable.
                comp.getInputMap().getParent().remove(
                            KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB,0));
                comp.getInputMap().remove(
                            KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB,0));after coding this, I am using the setFocusTraversalKeys for adding only "TAB" key as ForwardTraversalKey as given below.
            Set newForwardKeys = new HashSet();
            newForwardKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, 0));
            comp.setFocusTraversalKeys(
                        KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,newForwardKeys);
            Set newBackwardKeys = new HashSet();
            newBackwardKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, KeyEvent.SHIFT_DOWN_MASK));
            comp.setFocusTraversalKeys(
                        KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,newBackwardKeys);The only problem that remains now is that I have to press the "TAB" twice in order to get out of the JTextArea column

  • TAB key for lyrics in score editor not working anymore!

    I have been editing music for score printing in LOGIC for ever. Suddenly the TAB key won't take me to the next note, but finishes the inputting. I never get beyond the first syllable! I have even disabled the key command for TAB in other editors to make sure they don't clash - but no change. Can anyone help?

  • Disabling TAB key for specific users

    Good day,
    I am new to SAPand the company will start pretty soon using SAP B1 8.8. We are facing the problem of disabling the TAB key function which give access to a complete list of some tables (in the particular case of financials, all G/L accounts) which is considered confidential and should not be available to any employee. Our actual SAP consultant says that the only solution is to make a special chargeable modification to standard SAP. I find it strange that SAP gives such an open an uncontrolled access to such vital information of the company. I am sure some one on this forum will give me a practical, elegant solution built in SAP authorization mecanism.

    Hello,
    Yes we can do it by Addional authorization
    You can do it by Additional Authorization windows using by Form ID.
    and then goto general authorization select Additinal Athorization as (No authorization) for selected user.
    now selected user can not open Buisness partner on any transaction form .
    then Make a Query for selected BP for selected User and set in on that field .
    1>
    First make new Authorization in Additional Authorization Creator window.
    And select Edit button fill 10001 as form ID.
    OK
    2 >
    Goto General Authorization select perticular user and select same Subject which was created in Additional Authorization window setup. and give no authorization for selected user. ok
    3.Make a FMS from OCRD ,but first you should make filter in master for selected user in SAP. so with the help of we can filetr the record on transaction .
    4.After make FMS with then help of UDF set it in where you want .
    Now Your system is ready for your client requirement.

  • Can I disable TAB key for Flash?

    Hi All,
    Can i disable TAB key actions in flash? That is i dont want
    the focus to get transferred from one button to another on clicking
    TAB key. Im using my SWF in an MFC application. Even if the MFC
    developers trap the TAB key, it doesnt affect flash - the tab key
    works for flash. I will have to do something in flash.
    I tried _focusrect = false; but it doesnt satisfy me
    requirements.

    Hi niki,
    That would do the thing. Thanks a lot.

  • Override "crtl + tab" key behaviour with "tab" key for JtextArea .

    I am trying to override the "crtl + tab" key behaviour for JTextArea with "tab" key plus add my own action. I am doing the following.
    1. Setting Tab as forward traversal key for the JTextArea (the default traversal key from JTexArea is "crtl + Tab").
    2. Supplementing the "crtl + Tab" key behaviour with my custom behaviour.
    For the point 2 above, I need to get hold of the Action represented by the "crtl + Tab" key so that I could use that and then follow with my own custom action. But the problem is that there is no InputMap entry for "crtl + tab". I dont know how the "crtl + tab" key Action is mapped for JTextArea. I used the following code to search the InputMap.
                System.out.println("Searching Input Map");
                for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
                    InputMap iMap = comp.getInputMap(i);
                    if (iMap != null) {
                        KeyStroke [] ks = iMap.allKeys();
                        if (ks  != null) {
                            for (int j = 0;j < ks.length ;j++) {
                                System.out.println("Key Stroke: " + ks[j]);
                System.out.println("Searching Parent Input Map");
                for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
                    InputMap iMap = comp.getInputMap(i).getParent();
                    if (iMap != null) {
                        KeyStroke [] ks = iMap.allKeys();
                        if (ks  != null) {
                            for (int j = 0;j < ks.length ;j++) {
                                System.out.println("Key Stroke: " + ks[j]);
                }In short, I need to get the Action associated with the "crtl + tab" for JTextArea.

    nirvan.

    There is no Action for Ctrl+TAB. Its a focus traversal key.

  • Tab key for screen capture

    Hi All,
    Cap2 takes a new screen capture when we hit the Tab key. Is
    there a way to disable that?
    Thanks in advance - Vijay

    Hi,
    I can see that the norm for most is to take a new screen grab
    when hitting Tab; however, on a project that we are workign on, we
    are narrating information about a set of fields in an application,
    and prefer to ffill them all in on one slide.

  • Tab key for safari documents

    I'm using Google Docs live online and can't find the Tab key on my keyboard. There are a few more I can't find either. I've seen the comments so I know you already know which ones I'm talking about. Can we integrate ALL the features of a normal keyboard into my phone's keyboard please? My partner has a pc-based dinosaur that figured this out. Hook a sister up, I got books to write. Hate to have to switch back to PC based phone, but I will if this hiccup isn't fixed.

  • Captivate 7 and 508 compliance - can't tab to hyperlink text

    I am creating courses that  have to be 508 compliant - i.e., you have to be able to tab to interactive elements and press Enter to select them.
    I created hyperlink text in a text caption but the hyperlink does not seem to be included in the tabbing - i.e., you cannot select the hyperlink without a mouse. Am I missing something?
    If I use a text button instead of the hyperlink, I cannot left justify the text in a text button.
    If I use a smart object as a button, I can left justify the text and tab to it, but cannot select it with an Enter press!
    The only method I can think of is to put a transparent text button over the text caption. Is there a better way?

    Can someone else trst this for me?

  • Keys for navigating/selecting

    I just found out that Adobe introduced a 3rd way of navigating
    (and selecting) text with keys.
    Most Mac-applications are using or have adopted the system's
    method of navigating and selecting through e.g. words: with alt.
    Word does it too. Some apps (or old versions, like Dreamweaver
    before they joined Adobe) use the Command key. Some do both.
    But BuzzWord urges me to use the Ctrl-key to do it. Confusing...
    It would be nice to let BuzzWord make an initial assumption
    based on my profile or browser, or let me set a preference.
    (Of course the Command-key would be a legacy choice.)

    Is there an option to customize the keyboard shortcuts? For people without the US keyboard layout zooming in/out is a pain as a numpad is required...
    Having the same shortcuts for zooming as photoshop/indesign/illustrator/etc ctrl+ /ctrl- would be really nice

  • Change tabbing shortcut for controls

    Is there a way to change the tabbing shortcut to the Enter key, instead of using the Tab key? And is it possible to set the tabbing order for controls?  
    Thanks,
    Chris
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I would advise against it as using the Tab key for navigation has been standardized for a long time.  But you could use the Key Down? filter event in an event stucture to modify a keys behaviour.  Specifically if someone hits the enter key pass 9 to Char and ASCII to VKey.  You could also use this to disable the tab key.
