I am creating projects for testing users on a main frame product. I have no choice on the keyboard commands they have to use. It requires Tabs, Page Up, Page Down and Pause/Breaks. I am able to program them just fine. They work perfectly when I use Captivate 2017 and Preview them with the Project option . I have published them in both swf and html. Does something need to be on the web server that I might be missing? Is there code that needs to be updated or fixed? Please help.
Perplexed,

I have found a solution to my tabs not working problem. It is Java Script Code. It works.
Copy this code to the slide frame: Actions/On Enter/Executer JavaScript/Script Window
$(‘Text_Entry_Box_1‘).focus();
$(document).keydown(function (e) {
var keycode1 = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
if (keycode1 == 0 || keycode1 == 9) {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
} });
or if using a Click Box
$(‘Click_Box_3‘).focus();
$(document).keydown(function (e) {
var keycode1 = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
if (keycode1 == 0 || keycode1 == 9) {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
} });
On the actual Text Box or Click box do the following:
Select the Text Box – Choose Actions/On Success/Go to the next slide/ Shortcut is Tab(or what ever does not work) and On Focus Lost/ Go to next slide.
Hope this helps others that have to use this for now.

this may be a solution to all of us – adobe needs to publish this into the code as an update IMHO
The web server must support JSON because we have zero image problems. I have tried it both with validation and without. the success action is set to the tab key. I am uploading a sample file if you would look at slide 2, it is now in captivate 2019. I turned off the navigation skin and also accessability settings. Thank you for your help.
I need it to work in HTML, I am not using SWF any longer and can not figure out why the Text entry box will not work on the Tab function. When the user presses tab, the tab key goes to the url then several other browser buttons and finally comes back to my training where i want them to only tab to the next field which is a new slide. Is there a advanced action I could record to force tab to work to go to another tab field on the same slide or to advance to the next slide? I even updated to 2019 captivate and it still does the same thing in that version.
What is JSON?
