Question

Practice question freezes the browser

Hello,

I am revising one of my trainings, and I notice a strange problem. I have distributed 5 exercise questions during the training. On the last exercise question, the HTML5 preview seems to hang. Namely, when I submit the answer, the training freezes and the browser displays a message that the page is not responding. I am using MS Edge and Google Chrome as my browser, and the page stops responding on both. What can be the cause here?

 

It's only on the last practice question, but on the previous ones it always hangs for a brief moment, but then continues.

    Dane, you did delete embedded objects on the quiz slide, or maybe on the quizzing master slide. 

    Can you please avoid doing this, it may be the cause of your problems.

     

    As for the delay: what are the actions for 'Success' and 'Last Attempt' (sorry, don't know the Geman terms) set to? If you kept the default 'Continue', try to drag the pausing point in the quiz slide closer to the end. It helps when posting screenshots to add the timeline panel in the screenshot.

     

    About the embbedded objects (have no individual timeline) have a look at this blog, one in a sequence of multiple blogs about basics of Quizzes:

    I cant remember that i deleted something on this slide. This are the settings. 

     

    And here is the timeline

     If I drag the pausing point further to the end, it doesn't seem to help.

    Can you show me a screenshot of the slide as it appears on the Edit window?  There are two specific captions that can cause issues if they are replaced on quiz slides.  One is called the Question Title and the other is the Question Text caption.

     

    If I can see the slide itself I might be able to tell if both captions are still there.  They are usually near the top of the slide.  The Question Title caption is the one that identifies what type of quiz question it is (e.g Multiple Choice). The Question Text caption is the one where you enter the quiz question the user must answer.

    Are you viewing this module via your LMS at the moment or just locally using Preview in HTML5?

    I use locally the HTML5 preview for testing.

    OK.  Try this:

    1. Hide the problem question slide.
    2. Insert a new question slide of the same type but change NOTHING on that slide.  
    3. Test in HTML5 again.
    4. Do you see the same problem?
