Hello! Thanks for responding.
To answer your first question. Yes, the simulation opens to the first slide that has a click box.
Second, the slides are .5 or 1 second because when the user is tabing through the fields it needs to respond quickly for the fields they are not using. I did change the slides that have the TEBs to 3 seconds and it did not change the issue. Still having to tab twice on a lot of the slides.
Actually I have not tested it on another browser because everyone in the company has the same set up so it needs to run on IE8.
Have you ever had or witnessed a simulation with the shortcut key set as TAB (created in Captivate) run the way it should?
I must admit there a moment there that it seemed to be running good and only 2 of the slides out all 250 slides were getting hung up. Nothing has changed with the set of the TEBs so why would it just start doing this.
