Question

Menu control

Our customer wants a menu page with hyperlinks to each lesson BUT they don't want them to be able to access the next lesson until they reach the end of the previous. (Ok, we could send them down the chute without a way to get out but they want them to go in and out at will). I was thinking of a redirect but then we'd have to build a separate menu page per lesson. Is there a simpler way for controlled access (can't complete the course until completed other lessons)?

For this menu page, just an HTML document?
In that case, the approach could be using javascript to write cookies to
the local system to save values, then base whether a menu item is
active, or it's navigation results, on those values.

I'm not sure of the coding approach, but I think that's the only way
you'll be able to save progress via HTML/JS.

If you don't care about saving status, then just use JS variables. Once
a section is done, the values are updated. Each sections menu option
either navigates somewhere, or doesn't, based on that values...

So it's possible, but the coding, I leave that to the more seasoned!
