In my tutorial, you input a lot of text and at the end I would like my student to be able to email that text to themselves -- but when I add the trigger to email, it just opens up a blank email. Any idea how to do this?
I'm going to try and add my variables to this code -- hopefully they show up -
Launch new email message
var email="yourAddress@email.com"; var subject="subject line"; var body_start="How you want to begin your body."; var mailto_link='mailto:'+email+'?subject='+subject+'&body='+body_start; win=window.open(mailto_link,'emailWin');
If anyone else has tried this and succeeded, please let me know!
Also, I love that Storyline allows my students to put in text content and that I can display the results of all their work - but what is the point of having text input if there is no way to save it or utilize it? Outside of corporate or business functions, I do believe a lot of people are using this software in libraries and classrooms where people might want to use or save the fruits of their labor (without simply printing out a list). Just a thought --
The majority of users utilize an LMS to capture the student results, and saving it to a text file or database is not supported although there are community members who have created methods and here is a thread that discussing the Results using Javascript.

Hi Jesi,
Here are a couple support pages on emailing and Storyline
email trigger does not work
storyline doesn't include an email results feature
Hi Jesi,
I just wanted to welcome you to Heroes, and it looks like Becky has you covered here. Please let us know if you need anything else!
Thanks -- but those aren't super helpful except to say that Storyline does not have that function --
However, for anyone else interested, I do think I found a potential solution through this post - http://www.articulate.com/support/storyline/javascript-best-practices-and-examples
