Question

Web interaction in local HTML5 publish

Hi,

I have a bit of a hard time to get web interaction working in local html5 publish.

We have embedded a web page interaction widget in our presentation.

The interaction works fine in LMS, but we need to deliver the content on CD, so the presentation has to run offline.

I have found this article:

which suggests that it could work in firefox, but that is unacceptable, since ff is not supported browser and a lot of other things we used doesn't work there (the only browser we can use is chrome).

According to this thread:

http://forums.adobe.com/message/5912649#5912649#5912649

it might have something to do with security settings. But it is only a simple web page with no security measurements taken.

Although html5 publish is highly preferable, we tried exe and swf publish as well. No luck there either.

Can someone, please, help me with this problem?

Thank you

I think your issue is definitely going to be related to browser security.

Take a look at this article related to Flash security:

Although HTML5 is not using Flash the issue is basically the same.  Sandboxing of the content.  Anything that the browser does not regard as belonging to the same sandbox is going to be blocked.

Your definition of "security" and the browser's definition of security are likely to be very different.  But the result will be the same (it won't work) unless you deliver your HTML5 content from a web server where the cross domain security issues can be eliminated.

Thanks,

I guess this is another thing to be careful about when creating captivate projects, then...

It's not really related so much to the CREATION of the project as it is to the DEPLOYMENT of the published content.

The best way to deliver HTML5 is from a web server. That's all.
