Retrieve LMS User Name as Variable

I know you can have a user fill in a text box with their name and then later use that variable for personalization. What we would like to do is programmatically retrieve the user name from the LMS....

Hi, James - Which code are you using? This works for me in HTML5 publish.

var player=GetPlayer();
lmsAPI=parent;
var username=lmsAPI.GetStudentName();
player.SetVar("SLVariable",username);
//alert(username);
