Confirming Text in text entry fields.
Hi All,
I have some content where I would like learners to confirm text, eg
Enter email address (in one text field)
Confirm email address (in next text field)
I want both text fields to ...
No, it doesn’t make sense. “TextEntry6” is not a trigger (triggers don’t have names), so it is probably a variable.
When you create the text entry boxes, you should name them something that is unambiguous, like “emailAddressEntry” and “emailAddressConfirmationEntry”. Personally, I also rename the default variables that SL attaches to them. It saves SO much time later when troubleshooting. Michael is correct, this sounds like a case of crossed expressions. With well-formed names, the trigger should read
”Show layer do not match when emailAddressConfirmationEntry loses focus if emailAddressVariable is not equal emailAddressConfirmation”
If that doesn’t work, then you have a deeper problem, and will need to attach the .story file (or at least the offending slide) here.
