If you are familiar with JavaScript, and have good details on the setup of the webserver, it shouldn't be more difficult than creating an advanced action to build a custom url & open it from the user prompt.

Here is a post that asked how to build a 'mailTo URL' which you should be able to modify to take data from a Text Entry Box, build a url, and send via POST to a CGI on your webserver.

    I think that Acrobat is much more appropriate for such a goal than Captivate. You could use the Text Entry Boxes and try to transfer all the associated variables. It works perfectly in some LMS's but you are talking about a webserver. That will probably mean scripting...

    No, I'm just a user like you. I could see the value of the variable linked to a TEB in Blackboard, which is the LMS I have used a lot in college.
