articulate could not find slide in string table AND articulate actionator::exeJavaScript - $ is not defined
Hi, I'm new to Articulate and this forum. I am primarily concentrating on things that can be done with javascript. Last week I had several things working and then I allowed some Articulate updates to be installed.
Today I am receiving these two errors. The first one about not being able to find slides doesn't seem to be breaking anything so I'm not sure what that's about.
But the second error, where it doesn't know what the dollar sign is? That's the variable for jquery. That should automatically be recognized. Did Storyline stop supporting/including jquery? I cannot find anything in the published html includes that include jquery nor do I see any jquery js files in the published folders.
I searched for these two errors and found no discussion of them. I am assuming these were caused by the latest updates? According to the published story.html file I am on version 3.36.21213.0.
Thanks for your time.

My search prior to posting this failed to turn up this thread: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/no-more-jquery which answers the jquery question. That's a shame.
So I guess this thread is now just about the other error where it says it can't find slides (but yet it still seems to work?)
Apparently they got rid of Jquery in the last update and didn't tell anybody. Still trying to figure out a work around now.
Found a fix for your problems. Posted it here : https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/fix-for-loss-of-jquery-and-gsap-in-new-update
Thanks Andrew. The link I posted above also answers the jquery question. That one worked for me.
Hi Joseph and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Thanks for contacting us about the error you are running into with your project.
You mentioned the error as being: not being able to find slides.
Can you share when or where you are experiencing this error? With your permission, I'd like to take a look at your project file to investigate what's happening. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
Unfortunately I cannot post my project. I was just wondering if anyone came across this warning: "could not find slide in string table npnxnanbnsnfns00000000001" that comes from ds-frame.desktop.min.js and if so what was the cause and hopefully the solution? It doesn't appear to be breaking anything but just shows up in the console on every slide change. I try not to have any errors show up in the background even if they don't appear to break anything. And these are "warnings" (yellow yield) in the console not errors (red circle with x in it).
Hi Joseph,
I haven't seen that error mentioned elsewhere, but as Andrew mentioned we did remove jQuery from Storyline 360 initially based on security concerns and determined Storyline no longer relied on it as well.
In addition, some of the changes made to the player focused on accessibility changed how unsupported custom Javascript is handled. So folks have run into a few issues based on that too.
Our Support Team is happy to take a look if you can share privately, or perhaps you can share a copy of your file with any confidential content removed here for folks in the community?
We're experiencing sort of the same issue.
We have a text input field in a course - on iPad the text doesn't show up when you type on the virtual keyboard.
Our developer found the error message "could not find slide in string table npnxnanbnsnfns10110000101".
Thanks for contacting our support team as well, Vibeke. You should be hearing from someone soon.
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
I am experiencing a similar issue: I have added the Storyline File and the scorm to see if this might be related to updating the player.
Hi Frances,
Thank you for reaching out and letting us know!
I have opened up a Support Case on your behalf so we can take a closer look. Please be on the lookout for an email from Articulate Support!
Having a same issue.
Hi there, Sungmin!
Happy to extend a hand. Referencing Frances' case, here's what our Support Engineers recommended:
This explains why you're encountering that LMS warning when testing your course in your LMS.
We removed jQuery from Storyline 360 since jQuery is a potential security concern and Storyline 360 no longer uses it. You can still use jQuery to write custom JavaScript triggers if you're comfortable with it. You just need to reference the jQuery library directly. This article explains how:
Storyline 360 and Storyline 3: How to Reference the jQuery LibraryLet me know if that helps you, too!
I am getting the same warning when previewing a course which is "could not find slide in string table pxabnsfnsn....."
