When you click the button to email your quiz results, you may find that nothing happens or possibly a blank email with no information is sent.
Quizmaker relies on client-side mail programs, such as Outlook, to send email results. Tighter security restrictions in modern browsers, operating systems, anti-virus programs, and anti-spam programs can interfere with this process. Also, some mail applications, such as Lotus Notes and Groupwise, do not allow JavaScripts or HTML submits, which means the email results feature will not work with these programs.
For reliable and secure tracking of quiz results across a majority of platforms, Articulate recommends implementing a SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, or AICC compliant Learning Management System or Articulate Online. Feel free to test drive a 30 day free trial of Articulate Online.
The issue I am having is...the "email result" buttonis hit or miss, i.e. about 50% of the time the "email result" buttonwill work and submit the result to "sendmail.php" file so I cancapture the result in database. 50% of the time, when I click on the "emailresult" button nothing happens.
The hit/miss happens in all browsers...I have tried IE8, Chromeand FF.
Any reason why the "email button" will not work allthe time.

As an unsupported workaround, you could also consider using a server-side process to email results.
