Inserting Web Object Help
Dec 08, 2011

Ok, I am attempting to insert and HTML file created by uPerfrom as a web object. I have followed Jeannette's screenr. We have placed the html.index and assets in the production folder (the production folder resides on a network drive not my local harddrive). I am launching the course from an LMS. The course opens and runs properly except the slide with the web object, it attempts to load but never does. If I open the production folder and launch the course the slide with the web object loads and runs fine. What am I missing? Does this sound like an LMS problem or have I not correctly configured soemthing?

Hey Marty!
I believe the key here is the network drive where the folder is located. Linking to files on a network drive can sometimes cause erratic behavior. Also, be sure they are no special characters in your file path. Let me know if that's helpful...
Thanks Peter. We didn't produce the course to the network drive. We house all courses on a network drive and we insert a link to the course in the LMS.
So just to confirm, can you verify where the web content resides, and if the URL begins with HTTP (it should for best results). Thanks, and sorry for any confusion...
The production files and the index.html and corresponding files are located on a network drive. All of our Articulate courses are located there. The cours is launched from an LMS via a web link beginning with HTTp.
Hi again Marty,
I would recommend you copy the files from the network drive to your local machine into a folder, and then point to the index.html there. Then it will get included in the published output. Generally, you should not point to content on a network drive since network latency and other network path issues can cause problems. Will that work for your scenario?
All our Articulate courses are housed on a network drive and launched from our LMS without incident. This is the first time we've used an HTML file as a web object though. It is strange that we can launch the course from the production folder that is on the network drive and the HYML file works fine.
