For text entry, is there a way (maybe with Javascript) to make a user enter a minimum number of characters before they can move on? To prevent them from typing in one character just to click next.
V Raja's solution requires jQuery. Any Javascript code you see with $ signs in it are using jQuery. And as jQuery is not included anymore in Storyline it wont work as is.
Hello Matthew, I wanted to ask if there is already an option to bypass saving the text in a variable, so that I don't have to click outside and can count characters directly as I type?
The short answer is no. A more difficult option might be to capture individual keystrokes and use JS to build up the text. I imagine that would take more work and triggers than it would be worth.
