Disable <enter> Button at Submitting
Oct 15, 2013
Is it possible to disable the <enter> button to not submit nor trigger an action?
I have a problem with a course.
In a couple of text fields,when pressing <enter> the course jumps tot he next slide, when is not supposed to.
The functioning should be the next:
- The learner should write the % sign in the selected text field and press the button next to it.
- A window opens whith a new text field with the % sign already on it.
- The learner must write %rivera and click the button next to the text field.
- The windows turns into another window with just one name on it, the learner must select it and press the Seleccionar button (bottom right).
Well, it turns out, that when I write the % sign on the first textflied and press <enter>, I jump to the next slide.
If I get to the second text field, then, whatever I write on it, I can press <enter> and jump to the next slide. Even if I don't write anything!
I don't understand why does that happen. Any ideas? It would be OK if I could at least disable the <enter> button, but it would be better if I can change whatever that is wrong.
PS: I am only uploading the last slides.

Try using a TextBox with a variable as opposed to a Text Entry.
Oh, I am not following. What do you mean? How should I do that?
I didn't realize you were using a quiz question. I removed it and it's working now (I think)
Take a look.
It works, Seth! But what did you do exactly? I need to know how to do it, cause it turns out it is also happenning in some other slides. Please, teach me, master!
Love it!
Javier, I'm glad to hear that Seth was able to assist you here. Hope he shares his skills with you
Thanks Seth!
Javier,
You were using a quiz slide and the default validation key "Enter" - which cannot be turned off, if I'm not badly mistaken - was validating the input every time. I deleted the quiz question and used your variables to validate the input. If you wish to report the results to an LMS (not just displaying a Results slide using variables again) you can search these forums for "passing variables to an LMS."
Cheers,
Seth
Thanks Seth!
Muchísimas gracias, Seth! Now I know a little bit more thanks to you.
That is great to hear, thanks for sharing Javier
