A bit embarrassed here but can someone tell me what I missed. The email being sent by the user when the quiz is complete contains nothing. This client does not have an LMS so I just want an auto-email from the user with Quiz Name and Score.

You need to determine if the problem is with the movie or with you browser.

The first step is to make sure that the quiz infor is being sent to the e-mail function of the HTML page. You can use alittle javascript coding to check this.
1. Open the HTML file with Notepad.
2. Locate the line of code "function sendMail()
{"
3. Insert the alert(gstrEmailBody);
alert(gstrEmailBody); it should look like this

function sendMail()
{
alert(gstrEmailBody);

4. Save the HTML file.

5. Run the packaged movie using the HTML page.

6. You should see a gray box with the term "Core Data" as the first line. The remaining test in the gray box will be the test results.

7. If these results are not correct, test options selections for the quiz.


If the information in the gray box is correct, then your problem is with the "document.emailForm.action" of the HTML page. You may need to check with your IT folks to see if your system supports the "document.emailForm" function.

Good luck,

Thank you for your thoughts on this issue. I guess I need to try Adobe directly to see if they can offer assistance. I have also sent an email to our web guys to see what they think and have them look into the threshold question. Hopefully there is an aswer out there somewhere and we can get it resolved. Unfortunaltely a quiz without a means to retrieve the results is not very useful.

I will post any answers I find to hopefully help others. Thanks again for shring your ideas and providing a direction to go in.

Best Regards
Dave

I've been having the same problems for some time. On my computer everything works fine, but most others users get blank e-mails. This happes with both outlook and Lotus Notes. Capitavate tech support didn't have any concrete suggestions that would correct the problem. My IT group is now looking into the problem. So far they are baffled! No need to be embrassed this seems to be a Captivate problem. I don't have any issues passing data or filesfrom any other programs.

I am having the same problem. I have searched the forum and found some similar questions regarding email but no resolutions.

To any of the "Adobe Experts" that frequent these forums- has anyone found an answer to the problems with email such as the data not showing up in the email? Perhaps even suggestions on troubleshooting this? This is a common problem and an issue that I believe effects a great deal of people. Any guidance would be great.

Thanks

Hi Dave

I'm just guessing here, but the fact that nobody has replied to these issues is that we are all stumped. Plain and simple. However, be that as it may, I'll go so far as to hazard a guess as to what I think may be happening. Note that this is pure theory at this point. I only have a sneaking suspicion to back me up.

I wonder if it has to do with the number of characters involved in the E-Mail process. It seems to me that Captivate is simply populating the body of the E-Mail with characters. I know that there is a limit to the number of characters one can send using a simple mailto command. So I'm wondering if perhaps this threshold isn't being reached and/or exceeded and is causing loss of all data.

Hopefully this may give some a place to begin looking. Believe it or not, I too would love to see a resolution to this. I just haven't had time to perform testing.

Just a thought... Rick
