Advanced Answer Option feedback messages

I am using Captivate 8. I have a multiple choice quiz with 3 options, each with an advanced answer option feedback, 1 correct and 2 incorrect. When I output to HTML and preview the quiz in Chrome or IE11, the feedback boxes do not show. It works fine if output to SWF but I need to output to HTML

Correct answer Lilybiri

I was outputting my project to html and then previewing it in a browser and the advanced answer options weren't showing when answering the quiz. So my question still remains. Do the advanced answer options work in html?

Have a happy day


I still have 8.0.3.290 installed along with 9, will double-check.

Just tried out with one MCQ, with one correct answer (only way to have advanced answer option working) and everything worked as expected for me when I Preview HTML in Browser. Then I published to HTML, and had another view: all OK.

Either it is due to my version of 8 or something is wrong on your side.

My setup:

  • 4 answers
  • Infinite attempts
  • for the wrong answers: Show Feedback message and as action 'No action'
  • for the correct answer: Show Feedback message (changed its color) and as action 'Continue'

To check the full functionality of HTML output, deploy the published folder on a webserver. I'm not sure how you tested?

Which version of 8 are you using?

I am using Captivate 8.0.1.242.

I am not sure I understand. When I output to HTML and Captivate asks if I want to preview it, it opens in a browser window. Does this mean I cannot trust what I am previewing?


I have previewed it in Server-to-go, a self-contained web server. The same thing happens. Only when I don't use the Advanced Answer option and use the quiz feedback boxes, does it work properly. The problem with that is that I can't have targetted feedback depending on the response.

Preview in Browser is OK for SWF, but Preview HTML in Browser will not totally reproduce the situation after publishing, sorry.

Try to upgrade to 8.0.3.290, not sure it will help but worth trying since it is a free upgrade.
