javascript Exit button does not work

Question

I am using Captivate 7 to create a small tutorial. On the last slide of the tutorial, I have and Exit button. For the "On Success" action for Exit, I have chosen "Execute JavaScript". In the script window, I have entered

javascript:window.close()

When I execute the presentation by pressing F12 "In Web Browser", the button works fine. (A confirmation dialog appears asking me if I want to exit.) But when I Publish and then execute, the button does not work at all.

What am I doing wrong?

Please help.

Are you testing in IE? You might not be doing anything wrong, but your system won't allow execution of the script from alocal drive. Try adding this to the html document and see if it fixes the issue. Ths is a workaround as you can change your registry settings to allow the script to run.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
