I want to use quiz question slides as lighboxes in storyline. The problem is, as a lightbox slide the submit button does not show up. Is there an option to have it show? If not, and I create my own submit button and put onto the slide itself, how do I properly handle the visited state? Specifically - if the learner clicks submit without choosing a response they get the popup saying they must make a choice, but now my submit button looks 'Visited'
Hi Gordon, when you set up the trigger to lightbox the slide, you can set navigation controls on the slide, you can also set up a custom button on the lightbox slide as a submit the quiz (choose the submit interaction trigger) instead
It seems that for me the submit button still wont show on the lightbox slide even if checked. It shows on the slide where the learner would click to view the lightbox question slide, but not on the lightbox slide itself. But I will play with the visited state a bit and see what I can get it to do. Thanks!
I created a little quiz with the questions and results in a lightbox. I added a Submit button to the slide body.
There is a box which pops up if the user tries to click submit without selecting an answer. It clears immediately when an answer is selected.
I set a trigger on the Results slide to close the lightbox when you restart the quiz. You could have that trigger to do the same thing and just take you to the next section of your course. Here is a demo and the Storyline file.
Thanks so much for this... For some reason the links you provided are blocked by my company firewall. I will check these out at home and let you know if I have any questions

Also you can delete the visited if you dont want it, choose edit states and click on the visited state and choose the red X

Gordon,
Make sure you have Navigation Controls checked when you set up the trigger to the lightbox on your main slide. That did the trick for me.
Thanks Adam.
Hi Ben,
I was trying to view your demo and download, but received a 404 error that the page cannot be found. Where can I find these?
Thanks,
Diane
Hi Diane and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
It looks like that was posted many years ago. I'm not sure if Ben would still have that demo to share.
