    have you tried the Html5 preview under preview?

    This will create a Local web server for the preview, and you can then see the module

    Yes I did, this works perfectly. Eventually it also worked local (D: ) But not on the webserver whereto I upload the zip. It gets unpacked on the server and then it doesn't  work. It keeps loading...

    When Captivate's HTML5 output is loaded to be served from a web server or LMS, the server administrator has to make sure the server is configured to allow JSON files to be served.  This is quite a common web file type nowadays but it is still quite common for web servers NOT to be configured by default to allow this mime-type.  So you need to liaise with your server administrator or IT department to arrange this.

    HTML5 works best from a web server.  Try uploading your published output to a web server and then test it from there.  If you have the option (and are reasonably IT literate), you can also set up a localhost web server such as XAMPP or WAMP on your own PC to use for testing.
