Bug report: Can't have multiple web objects in HTML5
Apr 15, 2013
Hello
I've encountered an issue where I am unable to have multiple web objects in HTML5. I've created a slide that has 3 embedded HTML objects and, when I publish and run the story_html5.html file, the three spots flash dark for a moment, then only one of the web objects load; the other 2 spots go light.
Inspecting the DOM shows that there is only 1 <iframe> element whereas I would expect 3, one for each element.
This occurs in:
- Chrome 26 on Windows 7 (x64)
- Safari 5.1.7 on Windows 7 (x64)
- Chrome 26 on Mac OS X 10.8.3
- Safari 6.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.8.3
My intuition is that, as part of the initialization of the slide, a function runs that replaces placeholders with <iframe> tags. This function doesn't consider multiple web objects and discards all but 1.
I've attached a file demonstrating the issue using a remote site (example.com). The same behaviour occurs when using local web objects.
Please let me know if I can provide any more information.

A little investigation has shown that if I remove
if(this.webobject)this.webobject.remove(),this.webobject=null;
from
Element.prototype.open_webobject= in mobile/storyline_compiled.js
then the iframes appear but they are duplicated in the DOM.
