Question

How do I get the learning interaction "Jeopardy game" to work in Internet Explorer

I have recently converted a course to HTML 5 and it includes the Jeopardy Learning interaction. It worked fine when the file was saved as an SWF. The new HTML5 version works perfectly in Chrome, and it also appears to work when I preview in Internet Explorer. However when it is deployed through my LMS the interaction will not work in Internet Explorer. It does work in Chrome. Any suggestions?

    I am puzzled because you claim that it works in Preview with IE (version?). If you talk about a non-responsive project, the only Preview method that uses a temporary HTML output, is Preview HTMLin Brwoser£. Did you use that one?

    Yes. I was using IE 11 and the preview in HTML 5 option. IT is very odd. I suspect it is because IE does not support HTML 5 as well as all the other browsers which deploy this widget easily.

    You can ony fully judge the functionality after publishing and uploading to a webserver. It is true that IE is not the best student in the HTML class, but normally such a glitch would show in Preview with F11 as well. I never experienced that it looked fine when using that Preview method and not when published, the contrary happens quite a lot with learning interactions.

    The difficulty with IE is that it scores very low when compared with other browsers with its implementation of HTML5. Take a look here: HTML5test - How well does your browser support HTML5? 

    You'll see that most other modern browsers are in the high 400s with Chrome 66 at 528. Internet Explorer is 312. A point is awarded when a feature of HTML5 is implemented in each browser. Clearly Internet explorer is less compatible with HTML5.
