Conditional Hyperlinks

Nov 19, 2015

Is it possible to set conditional criteria to hyperlinks? What I'd specifically like to do is check accessibility of a link, if it is accessible go to that link, if not, go to a secondary link. Or if it's not accessible, display a custom message. For example, I have a course with several Intranet links. When working outside the firewall, I cannot access those links. When a learner is taking a course outside the firewall, I'd like to be able to redirect those Intranet links somewhere else or potentially popup a custom message that says something like "The link you are trying to reach is an Intranet link and therefore unavailable if you are not currently working inside the corporate network."

You should be able to to this with a Javascript similar to what's dicussed here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10926880/using-javascript-to-detect-whether-the-url-exists-before-display-in-iframe Based on the returned status, you could set a AStoryline variable which in turn would enable/disable hyperlinks and/or pop up a message.
