So, I have a request from one of my SMEs to send an email with results and a certificate to the learner after they complete the course. I have limited Java experience and plenty of time staring at HTML/CSS. From the looks of things, I have this code ready to roll, and even had it working to a point, but now it won't even fire out an email. Is there anyone who can tell me where I'm messing up?
I've cleaned up your javascript (two bad variables, and undefined). Here's the revised (attached).
Note, the code won't work if the learner doesn't have have email installed on their system (as you're using the mailto function). Also, your image won't work by appending to the end of the string most likely (I couldn't access the image behind your LMS).
Many designers work with their IT departments in organizations to develop a mailing system on server side to work the mailing results challenge. I've developed many of these systems myself for clients as it's surprising the number of students that don't have email applications on their lab computers...
I saw this thread in the Rise forum the other day that might work great; it's worked for my co-developer and I when it came to certificates. Ashley's insights and comments were interesting too from the Articulate side. You're welcome to private message me if further suggestions. Good luck
I entered the updated Javascript (thank you, David) into the file and still nothing is happening when I click on "Email Results". Is something not labeled correctly? I assigned an email account on my computer, so that part is taken care of. Is it working on your end?

Hi Eddie,
I'm not equipped enough to look at Javascript, but you may want to take a look at the best practices as a start here while you wait for some community assistance!
