Text entry not showing in IE

Hi all,
I wondered if anyone had come across this problem or had a suggestion for a fix. I have a course that users type their name in (simple text entry) for it to appear on the next slide which users can print off a certificate with their name. This works great in Chrome and Edge but in IE the name on the certificate slide is blank! Tried publishing and still have the same issue all good apart from when viewed in IE.

Will see if I can get permission to share, if not I will rebuild an example using the same triggers
Hi there, Karen!
Sounds like a plan. We can also appreciate confidentiality and are happy to sign an NDA if that works for you and your team. Just let our Support team know!
In the meantime, is the course hosted on a web server or a learning management system?
Hello, not that this will help, but I have a similar course and just checked it in SCORMCloud to make sure it works on IE as well, my client had tested, but I double-checked.
A slide comes up where there are two text entries, name and id, they hit Start and those values are stored in SL variables. Later when I print their certificate, those are populated into the certificate, along with some other items.
Just tested from SL360 SCORM package in IE and worked fine. Just wanted to let you know. In case you need a different print option, let me know and I can create a smaller file with what I have which could be an option.
Hi Jeff,
How did you get the variables to appear in the certificate?
Sorry for the delay, I used some Java to do the window print, however the variables are just shown on the certificate slide using the % signs, not sure if you are aware that when you put variables within the % signs that they evaluate them at run time. You may know that and that may not be what you are asking?
For example, a text variable created in SL called "firstName", if you put %firstName% on your slide, when you run it, the value of firstName at that time will show up on screen.
For example, items on this certificate are variables created in Storyline, that will evaluate when running.
