Any JavaScript Experts Out There?
I found this sample code on the web, but it's not working for me. I'm trying to limit the number of characters a user can enter (for example 5), and if they exceed then I show a layer with an error m...
Hello, the structure of the editable text fields has recently been modified by articulate for export, I had developed several scripts to limit the number of characters, limit the type of characters (uppercase, lowercase, numeric, ect...) , it no longer works today.
We can get around the problem in a fairly laborious way, we have to create a rectangular shape in storyline which will act as a receptacle for a standard HTML text field, I dynamically create a standard text field in JavaScript and apply the desired restrictions to it, and I ensures that the text field is always the same size and position as my container.
In addition you need a second javascript to delete it if the slide change :(
I don't know why the developers decided to make this change to the text fields, it would be nice to have a follow-up on the structural modifications of the export elements...
:-) One of the major lack in Articulate development. Lack of openness on this. The times something old didnot work in the newest version due to undocumented changes on Articulate side ;-(
That's great and thanks. I also only need it for one text box on a slide.
