Launch a course from a specific slide with a website/URL parameter

Hello, I need to create links on w website that will launch an HTML5 course from a specific slide. Has anyone had luck with implementing this? I'm on Captivate 9. I've tried the examples below, but they don't work. The first code cannot be pasted into the JS editor in Captivate (looks like the '<' character causes the text to disappear from the editor) and the second example launches a course from the beginning despite using the slide number parameter.

Is it possible to link a specific slide in a project from another project?

Jump to slide in a new project

Any help greatly appreciated!

    Ok, problem solved. The code from the first link works. The issue with pasting the '<' char looks like a bug when you use the JavaScript editor within the Advanced Actions window. It's probably being interpreted as an HTML tag opening. The workaround is to paste the HTML "lt" code (&lt;) instead of the "<".
