Cp2019 has broken an Action from Cp2017: Open URL or file
First, thank you for bothering to read about my problem. I really appreciate it.
My course has a button with an action "Open URL or file". Since the client wants all the links to external websites editable outside of Captivate, I would create an alias(?) for the website as a text file that looks like this, saved as the name "Pay_allowances_page.htm"
If I double click this text file (.htm file) the URL shown opens correctly.
Here's the HTML for the "Pay_allowances_page.htm" to launch the page and its URL:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL='https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Support-Services/Pay-Pers-Support/CPPA-Resources/Pay-Allowances/'" />
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, in Captivate my button has this action:
"Open URL or file" and I put the name of the text file (Pay_allowances_page.htm) into the "URL:" field. This successfully would launch the web page in a new tab (I select "New" under the drop down).
NOW - in v2019, under the same scenario I get this error:
Cannot GET /preview/HTML5Temp6200782237296Pre/Pay_allowances_page.htm
The only way I can get the button to work now in v2019 is to put the full URL into the "URL:" field. This is a huge headache as I have lots of buttons loading lots of pages. Any ideas on how to fix? I don't know JS very well but am willing to learn, for sure.
THank you people!!
