How to generate current date and time?

Hello,

All ze best for 2014...

I have exactly same problem than Palani concerning showing current date.

I can't see anything while publishing, and using Internet Explorer...

I already have a look to the tutorial video, but even being very careful, I can't find reason...

Any additional idea?

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

Are you testing this course using the published version in the intended environment? Testing it locally could cause you to encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network that'll cause various features of your content to fail. 

Should you be able to copy/paste the text variable among multiple slides? I was able to create the variable, but when I copy it to another slide, it doesn't work.

Hi, Anna.

Thank you for reaching out!

I'm not sure if you're asking a generic question on copying variables or specifically asking about the Javascript example in the video posted. 

When you create the variable, you can insert a textbox with a reference to the variable (it will look like %variablename%). If you copy and paste that textbox to other slides, does it work?

I am not familiar with Javascript, so hopefully others from the community will chime in, but executing it on the first slide should still apply to other slides that reference that variable.

Let me know if this works!
