Forcing Text Entry Answer Not Working
Mar 07, 2016
By

I am needing help with forcing users to enter certain text in the username and password fields. I created an "oops" layer that tells them to 'please type the correct username and password.' I tried typing the wrong text and I am not getting the "oops" layer to appear. My hotspot is the login button that users should click after entering the correct username and password. I included screenshots if anyone can please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Hi Bonita
try changing your Oops trigger condition to OR
Hi Wendy, thanks so much for your quick response. I changed the Oops trigger condition to OR but the Oops layer still doesn't appear after typing in the incorrect data. I do have another text entry field on another slide. Do you think the variable screen is confused? I have included a pic of the variable screen.
Can you upload the .story file Bonita - easier to help if we can see the exact setup.
Sure, see attached. Thanks.
not sure why the hotspot isn't working. I initially changed the trigger order so that it was the first trigger but that still didn't work so I hid the hotspot on the timeline and created a transparent shape sitting on the login button and added the show layer trigger and that worked.
Thanks Wendy! So strange that the hotspot wasn't being recognized.
Wendy, I just figured out why the hotspot wasn't working. Totally my fault. I had 2 triggers for the hotspot - both triggers told it to go to the next slide; except the one trigger had the slide title and the other said next slide. The first trigger with no conditions was being recognized and not the second. I guess because it was listed first. I would never have known if you hadn't tried the transparent shape. Thanks again!
Glad you got it working Bonita - well done!
