Question

Javascript for Text Entry Box to API for reporting

  • November 30, 2016

Would someone be able to advise on writing javascript to report user input text from a text entry box to API for reporting?
Disclaimer: I do no know much about javascript.


What I do know:- I am using SCORM 1.2
- My LMS allows me to call the following API
     cmi.comments (SCORM 1.2)
     cmi.interactions.student_response (SCORM 1.2)

     cmi.interactions.id (SCORM 1.2)
     cmi.objectives.id (SCORM 1.2)

My TEB for my test are creatively named

     text_entry_box_1

     text_entry_box_2

What I do not know:

How do I send the value entered in text entry box to an API to report on this?

If more than one Text Entry Box, how does this effect the javascript?

Where do I execute the Javascript (upon entering slide, exiting slide, clicking submit button?)

I found something on one of the forums that looked close:

           SCORM_CallLMSSetValue('cmi.comments', 'Hello');
To me, this looks like it would set the value of cmi.comments to Hello by default. I would need that to be the value of text_entry_box_1

Any help is appreciated!

If you validate the TEB and set it to be included in the quiz and also check Publish Settings > Quiz > And check the "Interaction Data" check box, it will report for you automatically.

    Hi,

    Here is what you could do (to get started):

    1. Text>Text Entry Box and create a variable myCustomMessage

    2. On Success > Execute JavaScript

    3.Enter  var message=window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("myCustomMessage");

    4. Text>Text Caption and assign variable returnMessage to the caption.

    5. Select text entry box and add the following lines to the JavaScript code already there:

    newMessage=message;

    window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("returnMessage",newMessage);

    6. Preview the project in HTML5 in browser. Enter a name in the text entry box and when you click Submit, you will see the name appear below, what is actually in a text caption container.

    You can extend this to your LMS and assign variables and passing value to the variables, like above.

    Thanks,

    Saurav
