Disable javascript warning popup

I agree with the feature request. Having the option to turn off these Javascript warnings would significantly reduce the nuisance factor. 

Thanks for sharing your perspective, Christopher. We appreciate it!

the best solution - in my opinion - would be an option to select "do not show warning again" when the alert appears

this should be valid until the next time the .story file is opened

The above feature is good for some use cases, but I'd still like the global option to turn it off permanently across all courses. Every one of our courses has JavaScript code for music handling and common functions, so we just want to turn the reminder completely off. It's never useful in our use cases. 

I'm back after 5 years of my original post.

Dear Storyline Developers, is this really this hard to add a simple tick to not show something again? Come on, please, that's like the simplest QOL improvement you can implement in matter of minutes probably. Please, do this already. That's most annoying thing in whole process of production.

I agree.

Following Steve Flowers suggestion above, we've added logic to all of our courses to ignore Javascript on slides whenever a variable is flagged (PublishMode is what we call it). It requires all developers to follow a specific convention that we have to teach, but it gets the job done. Since all of our courses use a javascript instrumentation library, music library, and other javascript-based tools, it's the only way to test the courses without significant friction. Without this convention, each slide would prompt developers multiple times during testing. 

A simple systemwide setting to turn the alert off would eliminate this additional organizational burden for us. The alert is a "feature" that was only useful the very first time it's ever used and does nothing except cause digital friction for the hundreds and thousands of times it triggers afterwards for a course developer. 

A solve would be either a systemwide disable option (preferred) or a persistent non-interactive and non-intrusive banner on the test UI that says Javascript disabled for testing) if you're really concerned about people forgetting about it or need to communicate other things. 

One more comment. Jürgen Schoenemeyer's solution will work great, but I don't want to be re-prompted every time I open the story file. One time per Storyline installation or one-time forever. Either of those works well. 

To address the issue with animations, you could consider placing a brief loading animation or placeholder at the beginning of your animation. This could help to prevent the "Javascript support is not available" message from interrupting the initial animation sequence.

I would like to keep the warning but don't make it modal, an always on top popup that shows errors, similar to javascript console would be very helpful here. The same popup could show values of variables in realtime.

I would also like to add support for a "less intrusive" JavaScript warning popup.

I really Like Phil Mayor's suggestion. We have experience with other authoring tools and they also had a way to review the live value of variables during a preview (for debugging purposes).
