Question

Persisting values in a dropdown widget

Is it possible to persist values in a widget that will be published as part of an HTML5 project?

If a user selects an option from a dropdown widget on, say slide 1, and then goes on to slide two but then comes back to slide 1, his option should still be selected.

Likewise, is it possible for radio buttons to maintain persistence in the same way?

By design ,those interactions are reset when you come back to the slide. I

totally agree that this is not always what you want, and encourage you to

log a feature request.

The positive news is that for radiobuttons and dropdown, and some other

interactions you can control what is displayed by an advanced action. Too

bad I'm on the road, no Cp here to show what I explain. Try to search on my

blog http://blog.lilybiri.,com for interactions.
