Has anyone embedded a crossword like hobbyist into a Storyline project? They have some java script code which you can embed into your website. https://crosswordhobbyist.com/embed
One option is to add the script snippet to a simple html page and then link a Storyline webobject to that page. See attached an example html page with a link to a random puzzle.
Still struggling with this integration. I'm new to html, but I have worked out how to make a page. I haven't been able to get to the next step which you have demonstrated here in the index.html file, My unique ID code for the crossword file is 560478
I see there are lots of other online puzzle makers who offer the same service of providing a unique id code to embed into your own website so that learners can solve the problems within your site online.
Then, add webobject to a Storyline slide and link it to the folder location of the index.html page. Once you publish, you should see the crossword inside the Storyline slide.
Thanks again Michael. I have added the code and I can open my crossword in the browser but when I try to link it as a web object Storyline can't find the index.html file in my folder
Ok, Got It! Thanks so much Michael for your patience and Alyssa. It works, now I have to see if I can remove the company's redirection button. That may be a tough call.

Hi Prana,
Does your crossword puzzle have a unique URL that you could use to create a Web Object in Storyline?
To adapt the html code I had provided, simply open the index.html page in something like Notepad, and edit the ID, so the code looks like this:
"
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://CrosswordHobbyist.com/embedjs?puzzle_id=560478"></script>
</body>
</html>
"
Then, add webobject to a Storyline slide and link it to the folder location of the index.html page. Once you publish, you should see the crossword inside the Storyline slide.
It does, but it doesn't open up properly in Storyline

You only select the folder where index.html is stored, not the actual file.
