Execute Javascript Trigger

Hi Christine, you might want to take a look at these basic JavaScript examples to get a better idea of how the JS code should be structured in Storyline and how to use the GetPlayer(), SetVar() and GetVar() JavaScript methods that are supported in Storyline.  http://www.articulate.com/support/storyline/javascript-best-practices-and-examples

YES to what Christine said.

You will notice when you look at it that when you put the Javascript into the triggers you are not supposed to put all that stuff in there like headers etc.  Out of the code you have, all you need is actual Javascript commands.  

For example: that first one for date.  You are going to need something that looks like this:

var player = GetPlayer();

player.SetVar("sDate",Date());

BUT, you are going to need to establish a variable in Storyline called sDate and it is going to give you a date that you might not expect.  It gives a long verbose date that includes timezone UTC etc.

You'll need to look up other Javascript for formatting.

One more thing. If you are viewing your published output locally, JavaScript will not work. You need to upload this to your webserver or dropbox.

Hope this helps,
Alex

@Alexandros: What you mean to say is true, but you are not saying it correctly.

You can PUBLISH it to your drive and view it and the Javascript will work.  I do it all the time.

What won't work is the PREVIEW mode.  Articulate has not set up the preview feature to be able to run Javascript.

For what it's worth, here is a quick test with your JavaScript snippets. I did remove the HTML tags and only used the JavaScript functions.

Michael,

This is exactly what I would like to include in my sample...

I've tried to follow your lead and remove the extra coding from the scripts but I think that I'm still missing something.

For example, I changed the code for the first button to execute this code: 

function myFunction() {

    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = Date();

}

My SuperHero! 

Thank you so much Michael!
