Text Entry box help
Hmmm okay something is wrong and it starts with the TEB not showing the text I am typing or capturing it. I decided to start simple. Have a correct/ incorrect layer, as well as a submit button. It doesn't matter what I type in, I get a message (not even one I put in my layers) that I need to complete the interaction. So, this means the TEB itself is not capturing what is being typed in order to validate it. Alright this is progress. Next step- remove TEB, and re-insert and configure fresh.
Thank you for responding,
While I agree, poor design, we have a lab guide and we are simulating, just for this module, as if they were using the actual application. So not much of a choice for the first exercise. We do have a show me and guide me, that prompt users. It's squirrely for sure- but required.
I don't really have an option in the drop-down for When the user clicks... Enter is not an option. I can select "Submit button", but I do not have a submit button. The font is black, against the white background, so I'm still not sure why it is not showing up.
For sure, no criticism of you. Just strange for the modern interface you're simulating to not provide user feedback. It's a missed opportunity is all, and I know from experience it's annoying to have to deliberately simulate less-than-ideal design.
When you're looking at the trigger wizard, your When should be: "When the user presses"
In web terms, clicking only refers to computer mice, so a trigger of "when the user clicks on the Enter key" could never be true.
There are a lot of trigger actions and events and conditions, so familiarity will take time. Seems like you're already in a good headspace to get there though!
I sent it before I added the conditional. To add a lock to this metaphorical door, you wanted to check the value of the entered text. You'll need to click down in the Conditions section to find the input field's text variable, and then type in the value it checks against.
If the learner presses enter and the entered text matches your template answer, the course will jump to the next slide. If the text doesn't match in any way (including a trailing space), the course will do nothing.
