JavaScript Email Validation in HTML5 using SL2

Articulate typically don't offer support for javascript issues and rely on the community for these, you may get some help f you post your troublesome code

Thanks Phil. The code is pretty straightforward. I feel it is an issue with Storyline and not JavaScript. I just cant figure it out.

// for textentry
var reg = /[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~.-]+@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*/g;
var player = GetPlayer();
var email=player.GetVar("storemanager1");
// console.log(email);

var isValidate=false;
if (reg.test(email))
{
var isValidate=true;
}
else
{
var isValidate=false;
}
player.SetVar("isValidate",isValidate);

After further testing, I found that the values are correct and the JavaScript is working as expected, but the button and triggers are not. See examples below:

Yes looks like the values are set correctly

One thing it may be is case, I remember a bug where Storyline was not accepting the case of a boolean in the html5, instead of a boolean try using a number variable.

Phil, thanks for your reply. So I tried using a number variable (0=false, 1=true) with the same results. Any other ideas?

Phil, I took it a step further and was able to get it to work by using a Text variable. Someone should really look into this to help the next poor soul who runs into the same issue with SL2.

Sorry Bryan didn't see the response yesterday. I agree, glad you found a solution.

Thanks for your assistance Phil. How can I let them know about this issue?

I think you need to raise a support case

Hi Bryan,

Can you share a copy of your .story file and code issue with our Support Engineers here? They'll be able to take a look at the specifics and figure out any next steps in terms of reporting to our team or documenting the behavior. 

Sure thing. FYI: I have also opened a support case.

Thanks Bryan - and I see your support case so I linked it to this forum discussion as well and I'll follow up here once they've also had a chance to take a look.
