Glossary widget in Captivate 8 not displaying properly in HTML5

[Chantelle Lyman]

Hi,

I've created a glossary using the Glossary widget in Captivate 8. When I preview in HTML5, the widget automatically goes to the upper left hand corner of the screen and is partially cut off, no matter where I have it placed on the slide (right now it is supposed to be centered on the slide). See screenshot below.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I need to publish in HTML5 for my client, so publishing in SWF isn't really an option. I'm using a Mac OS 10.10.2. Thanks for any help or suggestions!

This works for HTML, but I need to publish SWF and nothing shows up.  the Widget in captivate publishes, but it shrinks to about 1/5 of the page and is unreadable.  Any suggestions how to get it to publish for SWF?

When I use this widget, the screen flashes to a message for a second before going to the glossary slide.  The message says DIY elearning info Click each button for more information. Search: 

Any idea how to get rid of that?

Thanks,

April

Could you get a screenshot of the message?

This isn't an actual screen shot because it flashes and I can't pause it, but this is what it looks like.  The background it white and the Glossary appears after this flash.

This might be important to note.  The glossary is hidden the first time the slide appears and then users are directed to access it through the TOC.  The message appears when you go to the slide through the TOC or back up to it.

Very weird... do you recognize having typed that text or part of it somewhere in the interaction?

I did read in a mail that you have this interaction on a separate slide and use navigation. When I'm using the Glossary interaction I use another work flow:

• put it on the first slide, with Timing 'rest of project' and option 'always on top' checked
• create a user variable v_visib with a default value of 0 (is a Boolean variable)
• hide it mostly by using an shared or an advanced action On Enter, so that the Glossary is always closed on each new slide
  • Hide GlossInteraction
  • Assign v_visib with 0
• put a shape button on the Master slide, that will be a toggle button for the Glossary, will launch a conditional action 'TOCVisible'
• create this conditional action TOCVisible to be triggered by the toggle shape button
  • IF v_visib is equal to 0
       Show GlossInteraction
       Toggle v_visib
  • ELSE
       Hide GlossInteraction
       Toggle v_visib

No, I don't have anything like that.  It's not in the XML file of key terms either.

I think it is indeed linked with having to navigate to that slide, and the delay for rendering the Glossary interaction. I sent you my work flow that is not using a separate slide but having the Glossary timed for the rest of the project.
