JavaScript in Click Attempts

I'm not sure why your page cannot be displayed.

If you haven't modified your Captivate publishing files then captivatemovieid will be Captivate1

So replace the line:

var cp = window.captivatemovieid || window.document.captivatemovieid

with:

var cp = window.Captivate1 || window.document.Captivate1

Capvate1 comes from id attribute (id="Captivate1") in the object tag.

The name attribute for the embed tag is missing in the standard template so this won't work for non IE browsers unless you add it.

If you need to support nonIE browsers replace this text: <embed

with: <embed name="Captivate1"

To send line breaks entered into Captivates javascript dialog use \r instead of \n.

If you are sending line breaks from HTML use \n

In your html enter the following script in the head of the document. It will pause the movie until the message you are sending is acknowledged and then play the next slide.

<script type="text/javascript">
function message(msg) {
// Create a reference to the captivate movie.
// NB: change cpativatemovieid to whatever you movie is called in the HTML.
// window.captivatemovieid is the value of name from the embed tag
// and is used by non IE browsers.
// window.document.captivatemoiveid is the value of id from the object tag
// and is used IE.
var cp = window.captivatemovieid || window.document.captivatemoviveid;

// you can send the message with the function call or define it here.
// e.g message('hello world'), or message() and define msg here
if(msg == null) {
msg = "define the message here";
}


// prevent the movie from playing the next slide
// until after the alert has been finished
cp.SetVariable("rdcmndPause","1");

// display the message to the user.
alert(msg);

// Start the movie again
cp.SetVariable("rdcmndResume","1");
// Advance movie to next slide
cp.SetVariable("rdcmndNextSlide","1");
};
</script>

In captivate set your button to "Execute javascript",
then in the javascript dialog enter either: message('hello world') or if you
have defined your message in the HTML page: message()

Hi bytefun and welcome to the community

Try this code:

alert('Sorry, the correct answer is:\n\nInsert correct answer text here.')

Post back if any of this is unclear and we'll try to help further.
