Tab key does not work properly in Assessment mode

I am predominatly using Adobe Captivate for software simulations and assessment purposes. 
I've seen similar items posted on the forums and noted this appears to be a common problem with a solution, to edit the HTM file with the code  so.addParam("seamlessTabbing", "false"); see post http://forums.adobe.com/message/5283597#5283597.
I tried this with a file that was published without the need for SCORM compliance and it worked fine.  Once the requirement was introduced for SCORM compliance (and to publish as a Zip file), this does not work as the code is different in the HTM file.
My file has the following code:

How could I edit this to disable the "seamless tabbing" referred to in the original article to make the TAB key work as intended.
Thank you.

This is from my e-book:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/troubleshoot-adobe-captivate
Notice that the procedure for Seamless Tabbing in Cp6 with SCORM is different to that for normal non-LMS courses.
Implementing Seamless Tabbing in Cp6
All Captivate versions up to and including Cp6 had Seamless Tabbing active by default and set in the HTM template code. But you can still turn it off by manually inserting some code into the published HTM file as follows:
Navigate to your published Captivate content and open the HTM file in Notepad.
Locate the line of code in the HTM file that starts with:
var so = new SWFObject(
Add the following code on the next line:
so.addParam("seamlessTabbing", "false");
Save changes to the file and test by running your project again in the browser.  You should now be able to use the TAB key without leaving your published content.
Adding seamless tabbing to Cp6 SCORM support files
Seamless tabbing in Cp6 SCORM projects is a little more complex because the templates are quite different to those used for normal content.  To control seamless tabbing in SCORM content you need to make the changes to the SCORM_utilities.js file in the Captivate install directory.
Depending on whether you’re on 32bit or 64bit, you should be able to find it at one of these locations:
32bit:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6 (32 Bit)\Templates\Publish\SCORM\Default\js
64bit:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6\Templates\Publish\SCORM\Default\js
Open the SCORM_utilities.js file in Notepad or another suitable plain text editor. Scroll down to the end of the code until you find the following lines:
so.addParam("quality", "high");
so.addParam("wmode", CONFIG.WMODE);
so.addParam("bgcolor", CONFIG.BGCOLOR);
so.addParam("menu", "false");
so.setAttribute("name", CONFIG.SWFOBJ_NAME);
so.setAttribute("redirectUrl", CONFIG.REDIRECT_URL);
so.addParam("AllowScriptAccess","always");
so.write(CONFIG.TARGET);
Add the so.addParam("seamlessTabbing", "false"); code to this group and save the file.
If you are currently unable to save changes to these template files, my gut feeling would be that it must have something to do with your user permissions. E.g. you are not an Administrator for your own PC. Is that possible?

  • Tab key does not work

    This is very strange, please read.
    My tab key does not work. It will not move from one text field to another.
    I have checked my keyboard settings. "Full keyboard access:" is at the default "Text boxes and lists only".
    I have deleted this user and recreated the user, and with the completely new user the tab key does not work. Other users on the machine it DOES work.
    This is happening now on 3 of our 5 machines.
    Lastly, when I turn on the keyboard viewer (International/Input Menu/Keyboard viewer: it shows you what key the system thinks you are pressing when you press a key on the keyboard), it shows that when I press the tab key, the Command key is being held down instead. It's not showing that the tab key is being pressed.
    Has anyone seen this previously? Again, it's happening on 3 of our 5 machines (some users the tab key works, some users it doesn't). These are fresh user creations (no special software installed, no prefs changed, etc...)
    Thank you for any info!!!

  • PS2 - Tab key does not work in dialog boxes

    I am referring to the dialog boxes such as "Don't save" "Cancel" "Save" and pretty much any other dialog, the Tab key does not go through the options as it does in pretty much any software I have used.
    Is this the normal behavior in Photoshop PS2; or is there some way to 'fix' it?

    Is this the normal behavior in Photoshop PS2
    That seems unlikely, but firstly:
    How To Get Help Quickly!
    And secondly: Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, font validation, etc.)?

  • My command key does not work properly

    I changed my left command key on my macbook pro to a different function.  When I hit the left command button it responds by darkening the desktop background and then showing smaller versions of all the applications I have open.  Similar to mission control but not quite mission control.  I have searched around and cannot find a solution.  I am running mac os x version 10.7.5 on my macbook pro.  I have restored default funtion in the system perferences under mission control and keyboard shortcuts.  I have zapped the pram.  Is there anyone who has any suggestions to solve this issue?  Anyone?

    Go to System preferences on the Apple menu, then go to "International" pane in the system preferences pane.
    Select Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer. Click "Show on the menu bar".
    Now on the menu bar there is a flag, probably an American flag, click on it and select "Show Keyboard Viewer"
    As you change the fonts or type you will see the kb acting dynamically.
    Check back if it does not solve your problem.

  • Linksys X3000 does not work properly in bridge mode

    Hi there.
    I have some trouble with my X3000, and I am not able to figure out what's wrong.
    This is the case:
    I have an ADSL-connection. I am going to use the X3000 as a modem only, and connect a router to it in bridge mode. Seems simple enough, but sometimes the router just don't seem to be able to get an IP from the ISP. The X3000 is set to "Bridged mode only", and DHCP-server is disabled, as well as the wireless network. When I connect the router to one of the ethernet ports nothing happens (other than one of the LEDs lights up, depending on which port I put the cable in). I then try to reboot the X3000, but that doesn't help.
    The funny thing is that if I try to connect my computer to the modem I sometimes get an IP straight away, and if I connect the router again it still doesn't get an IP.
    This has also happened the opposite way; sometimes the router gets IP, but my computer doesn't if I connect it directly to the X3000.
    What is going on?

    Hi, Jallenbo. Just make sure to properly configure the X3000 so you'll have no future problems. To do so, you may use this links: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=a868c394b0664cc59773abf6df3ba5cf_Setting_up_your_L... or http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=5d8aaa8704694262bbe866f50a6ae46d_Setting_up_the_Li.... However, ISP configuration is essential so you can use this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=19892.

    I'm going to assume that since you deleted your hard drive and all its files, you had a backup, yes? If the backup has an OS (bootable clone), then you can boot into it by holding down the option key when you start up you iMac and choose the backup drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to copy the files back to your iMac.

  • When I am on a Youtube video that is running and I want to switch to another tab, the Ctrl+ tab number does not work, is that intended functionality?

    When I am on a Youtube video that is running and I want to switch to another tab, the Ctrl+<tab number> does not work, is that intended functionality?

    This can happen when the video player (Flash plugin) has the focus.
    In that case the plugin consumes all the key presses.
    You will have to click with the mouse elsewhere on the page or in the user interface to make keyboard shortcuts work.

  • HTML Editor in HTMLDB Does Not Work Properly

    Dear Developer,
    The HTML Editor provided in the Build 1.5.0.00.33 (9i) does not work properly. The problems are:
    1. When you press Enter Key in HTML Editor <P> tag is
    added instead of <BR> tag. This causes inconvenience to the end user while editing & displaying the fields formatted by HTML Editor.
    2. Similar problems occur when Bullets are used.
    3. Maximum field width for varchar is only 4000 & there is no other field provided by HTML DB which can store more than 4000 characters information.
    I would like to know whether:
    1. The problem is fixed in the newest buid ?
    2. Is there any workaround or am I missing something, please comment.
    I am using HTML Editor so that user can write long free flowing HTML text, but end users have inconvenience.
    Thanks.

    Hi Ayush,
    The answer to your question 3 is increase the size of the Maximum width on the item. I increased it to 32767 and was able to insert into a clob. I think the limit is 32767.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to launch firefox 3.6.3 with windows vista? Hot key (ctrl + alt + key) does not work.

    The hot key (ctrl + alt + key) does not work. This is in Windows Vista.

    Thank you Morbus and Cor-el, for your prompt replies. Here's what I did: I've placed the Firefox icon in the quick launch toolbar. So I right-click this firefox icon>Properties>Shortcut tab>in Shortcut Key field, add X (the word "None" changes to "ctrl + alt + X")>Apply>Okay>and that closes the dialog window.
    Then, to try the new launch short-cut, I press and hold down, in order, ctrl, then alt, then x (holding all three down) . . . and nothing launches.
    I thought this would do it! So any further thoughts would be a splendid help ---- many thanx!

  • Enter key does not work anymore in address bar after FF update

    After the update the Enter key does not work anymore. Neither when I type the url directly, nor when I select it from the history.
    In short FF has become unusable. Now I need to install and use a less crappy browser. Extremely sloppy, amateuristic update.

    see if this is helpful : go to Tool > Options > Advanced > General tab > Browsing and '''Uncheck''': "Use hardware acceleration when available" .

  • Just upgraded to iOS5 on iPad. Music app and mail does not work properly.

    Just upgraded iPad2 to iOS5. Music app does not work properly. When I select a song to play, it plays a different song. Sometimes, it just stops playing songs, other times, it shuffles songs.
    Not sure whats going on.
    Worked fine using iOS4.3.5.
    Synced the iPad to iCloud. enabled mail. It shows under settings that the iCloud mail is setup, but the mail does not appear in the mail app. Not sure whats happening with these functions on iOS5.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • Left and right arrow keys are not working properly now

    I searched the forum and didn't see this posted. My left and right arrow keys are not working properly now.
    For example, when typing, left arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the left), and right arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the right). Also, control + left no longer activates spaces, and control + right no longer activates spaces.
    Interestingly, in investigating the problem, I noticed that my shortcut keys for activating spaces and for activating expose had been changed (software update?). Before, I had set F5 (without pressing fn) for expose and had set F6 (without pressing fn) for spaces. Now, I noticed spaces was set back to the default of F8 (requiring fn).
    The issue persists after shut down, and even when logged on to other users, e.g. Guest.
    All other keys seem to be working fine, including the up and down arrows.
    I don't think it's a cleaning issue because fn + left + right produces the "[" character on the screen.
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the same type of issue on my MacBook except not with arrow keys. The volume keys do different things when I click on them. For example, the mute key brings up the dashboard and the volume up key makes all the open screens smaller (don't know what this feature is called). I did a software update then restarted the computer when this starting happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

  • TS1702 When I update to IOS6 on my 4S Facebook does not work properly, the news feed never updates it only says no new storeys and shows a picture of an antenna. When I reset my phone and go back to IOS5 Facebook works fine. What's up with IOS6 ????

    When I update my iPhone 4S to iOS six Facebook does not work properly the newsfeed doesn't load properly and I can never see what's going on all I see is a picture of an antenna and a little thing underneath it says no new stories when I reset my phone back to iOS 5 then it works just fine and I don't have any issues so there must be something wrong with iOS six that isn't letting Facebook load properly

    No I did not use any unauthorized methods for anything, I simply reset my phone back to factory.
