Embed Mortgage Calculator into Slide using java source code?
Jan 29, 2022
Greetings,
I'm a total newbie with Storyline using the free trial and tutorials to teach myself while trying to develop my portfolio. I've taken on a project to create a course for first time home renters/buyers and would like to include a mortgage calculator on one of the slides. Another discussion post noted pasting the source code into the Video Insert Box, but it doesn't work. The result is a static black and white box with no text or data entry options. I'm totally lost as to how to make this work. I have pasted the source code here in hopes that helps answer the question. Thanks to anyone in advance for providing any insights!

Let me add one other question which may alleviate my concerns. As another route, I input this source code into a new google sites page and it worked just fine after publishing. Should it work (including interactivity) in storyline while I'm editing? The preview when I try video or web object gives a message that it's not viewable in preview mode. Is there another way to check it in Storyline without publishing or exporting?
Hi, Peter.
Thank you for reaching out!
It sounds like you're trying to add the Mortgage Calculator widget as a web object in Storyline. Here are the steps I used in my example below:
Web objects can't be previewed. To view web objects in your course, publish for Review 360 or Web. For additional information, take a look at this article:
I hope this helps!

Hi Ross,
Happy to help!
There wasn't an actual issue identified in this thread, just some confusion with how web objects are previewed. With that being said, can I ask what specific issues are you encountering with the web object in your project? Are you seeing the same issue when the slide is previewed and published? As my colleague Maria mentioned, web objects can only be viewed when the course is published. Web objects won't display in edit or preview mode.
If your web object isn't displaying properly in the published output, please share a copy of your project file here or in private by opening a support case so we can take a closer look at what's happening. We'll delete it when we're done testing!
