Question

Can you use Ajax calls in Captivate

Hey,

We're trying to figure out if this is possible to do.

Is it possible to have a Ajax call out of Captivate, and send data to a database for another Captivate project to use?

I've used some internal javascript and jquery in Captivate, but I haven't tried to to have it call out to bring in data or send it out before.

The idea is, that the Captivate courses will get used on Adobe Connect. The plan is to export them as ACII, so they can be view able in HTML instead of SWF.

Hoping we'll be able to track the users' different scores from the different courses.

It's definitely doable, but if you are using a hosted LMS, you will not be able to use any server-side scripts.

I use Google Sheets all the time to track information when not using an LMS or if a customer need custom tracking that is not available in an LMS.

If the question is, "Is it possible," the answer is yes. I had CP posting status variables to a mySQL Db using JS, Ajax, and PHP. I'm not on the system with the code and it was just a crude test to see if it was possible.

What you want to accomplish is totally doable.
