How to output JS generated text to Captivate slide?

Question

I wrote some custom Javascript that generates some text. The Javascript successfully executes when the movie gets to that slide (On Enter: Execute Javascript) but I can't seem to get the generated text to appear within any Captivate screen object.

I created a Captivate text entry box, found it's ID value and tried using the Javascript call:

document.getElementById("myTextBox_inputField").innerHTML="Text from Javascript";

but I can't seem to get the text from my Javascript output to a Captivate object. I feel like I'm missing something obvious with this one....

Thanks in advance,

Rich

The syntax for an Input is "value", not innerHTML. You'll need to set a timeout to ensure the element is in the DOM first.

setTimeout(function()

{

var myBox = document.getElementById("myTextBox_inputField").value = "Text from Javascript";

}, 0200);
