using mailto function locally

Hi Stephen!

If you publish for Web, you should test the content by uploading it to a web server and pointing to the valid http address. Those functions won't work when viewing locally due to Flash Player and web browser security issues.

Perhaps you can publish for CD if you need this to work the way you are describing.

Hi Leslie and thank you for the reply.

I am publishing for LMS.

I am converting quizzes into SCORM for EU (around 400) and EU is providing the QA.

Rather than upload each one into the Training environment and testing, they are just launching the quiz.html file (after extracting the zip file to a folder).

It works for me fine (following that process), I click the feedback button I added and the mailto works fine, a new email opens with the appropriate information added, but they receive the error I noted above.

again, I am using IE11 and they are using IE8, which may be the difference.

I am guessing there is some kind of configuration difference between the 2 that allows me to do it but not them.

It most likely will not run locally best to publish for CD for it to work locally.

Ok, again, I have IE11 and it works just fine locally.

It is dependent upon your browser security settings and certain browsers will also not allow this type of activity at all.

It may be something that the user cannot change because their administrator has locked it down.

Publishing to CD and running the exe file will circumvent these security settings, without using the flash projector in the CD version these courses are not designed to be run locally.
