Printing screen

Sep 03, 2014

Hi Guys,


A quick one - I'm trying to insert a button with the trigger to print the screen of the current slide.

I'm using "execute javascript" trigger with the javascript:

window.print();

But for some reason, this just doesnt seem to work. Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Richard

Hello Richard!

You may want to test this through your intended output source, LMS or web server.

If you do not have access to these you can use

Tempshare: This is a free service provided by Articulate for testing Storyline content. Note: Uploaded files will be deleted after 10 days.

Or the SCORM cloud, which is the industry standard for testing and another free option.

Also here is some information regarding JavaScript for reference.

Let us know if you need anything further.

Hi all

I'm having the same issue. the JS window.print(); that I have on a button prints a blank piece of paper when using the Flash output in Firefox and Chrome (both updated).

It does work in IE.

And it works in all 3 browsers when using the HTML5 version.

Per this article, it should be supported. https://www.articulate.com/support/storyline/javascript-best-practices-and-examples

Thx

Nicole
