Hi Ryan

I have really enjoyed your pdf certificate print facility and I have designed a template that works fine when I click directly on the certificate.html (I've actually called it DCS_certificate(Master).html) but I don't think my issue is related to the name change. I have modified the Execute javascript accordingly to it now reads

// Name of the certificate html file
var certFilename = 'DCS_certificate(Master).html';

The issue I am having, and maybe I'm missing something here, is that when I delete the web object and insert a new one, Storyline says there is no 'index.html' file in the folder, whereas, looking at the examples you have produced there doesn't need to be one, since the web object should point to the DCS_certificate(Master).html. How do I get it to link back correctly?

Thanks in advance

    Hi Chris, sorry, I haven't been following this thread recently. Do you have more than one html file in the web object folder? In my testing Storyline 360 will allow you to add a web object with an html file of any name when there is only 1 html file present. If there is more than 1 then you must have an index.html file.
