Are the Learning Interactions on Captivate 9 HTML compliant?

I developed a course in a blank project and one of the widgets that I used was for tables.  When I published the course for both SWF and HTML formats, I noticed that the tables do not appear.  However they did appear when I previewed the slides in Captivate 9.  I thought this is because C9 only allows elearning developers to publish up to version Flash Player 11 and my employer has version 24.  For the time being I am publishing to the computer and viewing the course from Google chrome.

I am starting to think that I should not use widgets altogether if I want my projects to be HTML compliant.  I read this excellent article by Rob Ward:

http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate/convert-swf-courses-to-html5

The article said that "Captivate's Learning Interactions are also widgets, but those that ship with the latest versions of Captivate should be HTML5-compliant.  If in doubt, replace them with current versions."

but wanted to know if anyone out there has had first hand experience with the table widget. Should I replace the table widget build my table from scratch? 

Glossary was another widget I used and again, it looks fine in the preview and did not appear in the published version.  I would welcome any thoughts and advice on the matter.

Cheers,

Natalie (Sydney)

    Often HTML learning interaction only function well when published to a webserver or a LMS (for SCO's). DId you test that way? Some behave diffferently compared with SWF output (Scrolling Text Area and Timer to mention 2).

      Hi there,

      I have believe that the table widget (in learning interactions) is a shock wave file.  When I loaded my course into the LMS, I found that the table widget and the Glossary widget do work.  However, when I tested the course in the SCORM cloud, these widgets did not work.

      Thanks so much for your advice,
