articulate could not find slide in string table AND articulate actionator::exeJavaScript - $ is not defined
Jan 27, 2020
Hi, I'm new to Articulate and this forum. I am primarily concentrating on things that can be done with javascript. Last week I had several things working and then I allowed some Articulate updates to be installed.
Today I am receiving these two errors. The first one about not being able to find slides doesn't seem to be breaking anything so I'm not sure what that's about.
But the second error, where it doesn't know what the dollar sign is? That's the variable for jquery. That should automatically be recognized. Did Storyline stop supporting/including jquery? I cannot find anything in the published html includes that include jquery nor do I see any jquery js files in the published folders.
I searched for these two errors and found no discussion of them. I am assuming these were caused by the latest updates? According to the published story.html file I am on version 3.36.21213.0.
Thanks for your time.

My search prior to posting this failed to turn up this thread: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/no-more-jquery which answers the jquery question. That's a shame.
So I guess this thread is now just about the other error where it says it can't find slides (but yet it still seems to work?)
Apparently they got rid of Jquery in the last update and didn't tell anybody. Still trying to figure out a work around now.
Found a fix for your problems. Posted it here : https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/fix-for-loss-of-jquery-and-gsap-in-new-update
Hi Joseph and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Thanks for contacting us about the error you are running into with your project.
You mentioned the error as being: not being able to find slides.
Can you share when or where you are experiencing this error? With your permission, I'd like to take a look at your project file to investigate what's happening. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
Thanks Andrew. The link I posted above also answers the jquery question. That one worked for me.
Unfortunately I cannot post my project. I was just wondering if anyone came across this warning: "could not find slide in string table npnxnanbnsnfns00000000001" that comes from ds-frame.desktop.min.js and if so what was the cause and hopefully the solution? It doesn't appear to be breaking anything but just shows up in the console on every slide change. I try not to have any errors show up in the background even if they don't appear to break anything. And these are "warnings" (yellow yield) in the console not errors (red circle with x in it).
Hi Joseph,
I haven't seen that error mentioned elsewhere, but as Andrew mentioned we did remove jQuery from Storyline 360 initially based on security concerns and determined Storyline no longer relied on it as well.
In addition, some of the changes made to the player focused on accessibility changed how unsupported custom Javascript is handled. So folks have run into a few issues based on that too.
Our Support Team is happy to take a look if you can share privately, or perhaps you can share a copy of your file with any confidential content removed here for folks in the community?
We're experiencing sort of the same issue.
We have a text input field in a course - on iPad the text doesn't show up when you type on the virtual keyboard.
Our developer found the error message "could not find slide in string table npnxnanbnsnfns10110000101".
Thanks for contacting our support team as well, Vibeke. You should be hearing from someone soon.
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
I am experiencing a similar issue: I have added the Storyline File and the scorm to see if this might be related to updating the player.
Hi Frances,
Thank you for reaching out and letting us know!
I have opened up a Support Case on your behalf so we can take a closer look. Please be on the lookout for an email from Articulate Support!
Having a same issue.
Hi there, Sungmin!
Happy to extend a hand. Referencing Frances' case, here's what our Support Engineers recommended:
Let me know if that helps you, too!
I am getting the same warning when previewing a course which is "could not find slide in string table pxabnsfnsn....."
Hi there, I have the error:
'could not find slide in string table npnxnabnsnfns00000000001' in 'ds-frame.mobile.min.js:formatted:2651'
Clip of offending code attached.
I get it on every slide when the slide loads. I have not been too concerned as it all seemed to be working, but then I got feedback from a tester running the course on a tablet. They are unable to interact with 3 buttons on the result page. The review, replay and complete buttons.
I tried the course in chrome with dev tools emulating an ipad and I was able to replicate the issue like this. There was no problem with the desktop view.
I have since updated my version of storyline to the latest one and now I have the video at the start of the course unable to play on any device...
Hi Tanya!
Are you comfortable sharing your file as well? You can either attach it to this discussion or share it with us privately! Either way, we'll take a look and see what the fix is.
This thread contains two issues that should be separated.
FOR ERROR 'could not find slide in string table pxabnsnfns00001100101'
@ville-
Where did you find that?
In the published output you can find it in \html5\data\js\frame.js
Hello.
I am having some learners experience the ability to not be able to resume/restart SCORM launched courses as the Yes/No buttons are not being displayed when the module is launched. Is there a fix for this please?
Thanks.
Nick
Having the same issue. Checking in to see if support/anyone has resolved this issue?
Same problem here; seeing that error all the time.
Hi
I had several student bring up the same issue on my side, that the published modules they are uploading to their LMS are not working on the tracking and updating the pass/fail statement. After further testing this error was appearing when running the published modules in the LMS and also on various different browsers.
I have gone through all the recommended steps mentioned in the discussion to fix the issue and to no resolve. I have tested this on my own published build with very little content and it does exactly the same thing.
Are these some form of restrictions for trail users?
