Advanced Action issue when text box input is 0

Question

I am designing a crossword puzzle in Captivate 9 and have been experiencing an issue with the text boxes that comprise the puzzle. Everything in the advanced actions work great except for a few spots where the user needs to input a 0 as the answer. No matter what comparison operator I use in the action (tried contains, equal to, etc.) or what value I start the user variable at it does not seem to register the text boxes where the user is supposed to enter 0 as incorrect. Is there any work around as I cannot change what the user needs to enter in the box since it is medical coding information?

Thanks for any ideas!

That is the problem with Captivate, there is no easy way to distinguish the number 0 from an empty field or a text field.

The best way would be to replace the advanced action by JS. Long time ago i pbulsihed a post to find a workaround for an 'empty' value. Maybe you could try something similar?
