Problem with Back and Next Buttons: a solution?

Hello,
It is well known that including the Back and/or Next buttons in Captivate quiz questions presents real problems. I have come up with what I think to be a solution. It should allow one to include both Back and Next buttons, if one wants to do this. It involves doing the following:
With Question 1, do not include a Back button. (This is so that the quiz-taker cannot get out of the quiz scope in the forward direction.)
Create this advanced action: If cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions = 0, then Go To The Next Slide (i.e. the results slide); Else Continue.
Insert a slide after the final question (and before the results slide). On this slide, include the following:
A message to this effect: ‘You have not answered all of the questions. Please go back and complete all of them.’
A button labeled ‘Return to Questions’ (on success: Jump to slide with Question 1). But include no other buttons. That is, if the quiz-takers lands up on this slide, he or she has only this option.
On Enter (i.e. on entering the slide being described here), Execute Advanced Action =  the advanced action described in Item 2 above.
Now for something odd. Before the slide described in Item 3, insert a slide with a Text Caption with variable $$cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions$$. Keep the slide as brief as possible (something like 0.5 sec.) and make the text of the Text Caption invisible. And why all this? Because I found that, without it, problems arose quite regularly. If one or more questions were not answered, the quiz-taker would come, as expected, to the slide described in Item 3 above. The quiz-taker would then go back to complete the unanswered questions. But then—sometimes—the Item 3 slide would still appear, even though all the questions were answered! The quiz-taker would return once again to the questions (since this is the only option available), only to find that now none of the questions were answered! And at this point, there was no escape: the Item 3 slide would always appear no matter what one did. Why should inserting the additional slide described in the present item solve the problem? I don’t know. All I can say is that (1) without it, the problem arises often (though not always), and (2) with it, the problem hasn’t occurred yet, even though I’ve done lots of testing.
Final note. It will be clear that this solution is meant to be used together with the option Allow Backward Movement. Will the solution work with Branch Aware? I don’t know yet. Will it work with Question Pools? Again, I don’t know yet. I’ve only done a bit of testing in both cases. The results thus far indicate that at least one of these options presents real problems. Both might.
I’m still testing this solution (or what I hope is a solution). If anyone else wants to try it, I’d be interested in hearing how it goes.
Best regards,
Marvin DuBois

Dear Lilybiri,
Thank you for your response.
1. 'I don't get it why you don't use the Submit All option?'
Submit All is fine in some cases. But it limits the options: the quiz-taker does not get immediate (question-by-question) feedback. So where immediate feedback is wanted, the Submit All option presents problems.
2. "Why do you need a Back button . . . ?'
a. The Back button is needed during Review. Otherwise, the quiz-taker can only review in one direction.
b. In some quizzes, the quiz-taker should be free to go back, whether to check earlier question slides (since the questions and/or responses can be relevant for the current question) or to re-read/re-hear information slides inserted between question slides.
But the more general issue is this. The Cp Back and Next buttons provide us with possibilities, with further options. Workarounds are available, such as not allowing backward movement and placing a Clear button over Next. But these workarounds limit the possiblities, i.e. the possibilities that are there—i.e. that Adobe puts there. It's not that we always need these possibliities. But neither should we be hindered from using them if we so choose—and especially when we would be hindered simply because Cp doesn't work as well as it should.
Kind regards,
Marvin

  • Single Frame with Back and Next Jbutton support for Swing

    Hi All,
    I need a help regarding to th JFrame.
    I have to design a tool with Back and next button with a single frame. With Next button action i should move to a new Frame content and with Back button i should back to the previous one.
    How should i proceed?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    1) That's a Swing question. There a {forum:id=950} forum.
    2) This is a very common need. There is no built-in widget in the JDK, and a lot of custom approaches, including in libraries. Google for "Java Swing wizard"
    3) If you roll your own, the simplest way, as far as the GUI layer goes, is to stuff your panels in a CardLayout, and have your buttons switch the current "card". Very simple: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/card.html
    4) The trick may be in keeping the "business logic" in sync (if for example panel 2 depends on processing info from panel 1). If you're new to java and Swing, make sure you understand objects and references

  • How do I position the back and next buttons in a full screen lightbox

    I'm working on a portfolio website, and it has five sections (each section is 1440px wide).  I am trying to put in a full screen lightbox for some images.  When I adjust the settings for the lightbox, I am just keeping the Back and Next buttons.  However, when I put the buttons in one place, they either appear in a different position in the browser, or just don't appear at all.  Maybe there's a technique I am missing with regards to putting the buttons in a place most computer browsers will be able to find it.  (Pictures of the problem are below, and they use the sample pictures for the slideshow, but it doesn't make a difference what pictures are in there. 
    Muse document.  The arrows are pink and can be seen on the left and right sides.
    Web Browser Preview.  No arrows, even though they're in the Muse document.

    I see that you are using a long page with slideshow in lower section of the page. Navigation arrows are placed around 3200 , so when you will scroll the page down you can view the next and previous buttons.
    Try to change navigation arrows and then check.
    Thanks,

    Most of the time the iphone cannot reach any network and when it can, there is no data transfer, I can only make calls and sms.

  • Navigation back and forth between anchor points with "prev" and "next" buttons?

    Hi all,
    I am working on a horizontal layout site that has anchor points on each part. As the user scrolls, it snaps to each anchor point. It works fine with just the mouse wheel, but I'd like to have previous and next buttons that allow for easy navigation between the points. I know on each section I can have the buttons to jump from say A>B>C and then C>B>A, but this is a single "prev" and "next" set of buttons that are pinned to the page. So, as the page scrolls left to right, the buttons stay put. Is there a way to just have them go to the previous and next point in the line, rather than linking a button to anchor point A/B/C, etc?

    I'm not sure I'm making my question very clear. Your response doesn't address what I'm asking, unfortunately. I know how to make buttons that are linked to individual anchor points. But I'm trying to make buttons to link to the next anchor point, or a specific spot on the page. Think of how you would navigate on a horizontal page, that's what I'm looking to duplicate.

  • Problem with SAVE and RESET button in WAD

    Hi all,
    We have two queries embedded in save template and we have created two different save and reset buttons for each query. But if i execute save or reset for one query it is working for both the queries. Can i restrict the SAVE and RESET button for a particular query.

    Hi Tilak,
         It appears that though there are two reset buttons, the HTML code for the webtemplete is not arranged to restrict the reset function of the button for each dataprovider used. This may cause the reset function to act globally on all dataproviders . In the XHTML code, please pass a unique instruction to each reset function, such that each instruction corresponds to a unique dataprovider.
    Thanks,

  • Having a problem with "open" and "import" buttons!

    Hello all,
    I am having some trouble with a basic function in Logic. When I go to "file" and select "import," the window of options appears. However, when I select a file and click the "import" button, literally nothing happens. I have had a similar problem, when I go to the "file" menu and select "open." A window will appear for me to browse to the logic file I want to open, but when I click "open," nothing happens. However, if I manually go to the file and double-click it, then the file will open. The drop-down is set to "All logic document types," though I have tried "all Logic songs" with the same problem. Please help!

    you know whats funny, this project has to do with arrays of objects and not inheritance. We learned inheritance last week but the lab we are doing which is this, is for arrays of objects. sorry for the confusion lol. so you can completely ignore this, it actually has it in big bold letters at the top of the web page for the lab.

  • Problems with iweb and safari - 'buttons' not working in safari/firefox...

    Hello. Help! I've been using iweb for a while with no probs - but on trying to launch my most recent site I'm finding the navigation buttons (graphic images not text buttons) work fine in iweb on my mac, plus fine on a PC but only partially in safari/firefox browsers... see sarahgreen.me and you will see that none of them work on the home page. Is this some kind of bug? I was wondering if it is anything to do with there being too many objects on the page or something? They are fine on a PC.
    Thanks for any ideas.
    Sarah

    In iWeb do Command-Shift-L to see the layout of the page.
    The content in the Navigation layer is blocking the content of the Header layer. The body layer is empty.
    Move ( +Use Command-drag+ ) EVERYTHING in the Navigation layer and EVERYTHING in the Header layer INTO the Body layer.
    Put content where it belongs.

  • View Navigation (Back and Next)

    Hi Experts,
    Are there any alternatives to using plugs for view navigation in Web Dynpro?
    We have an application which consist of a number of views, each with a 'back' and 'next' button that loads another view. Problem is - depending on choices made on the views, the next and back buttons need to navigate to different views. This means that we have to create separate plugs and links for each possible destination. Even worse, we have to keep track of which view was loaded before the current view, as the back navigation differs.
    If I can maybe illustrate our problem with this example:
    View1:
    InPlug1(Back from View3 after navigating to it from here)
    OutPlug1 (Next button with option A)
    OutPlug2 (Next button with option B)
    View2:
    InPlug1 (Next from View1 with option A)
    InPlug2 (Back from View3 after navigating to it from here)
    Outplug1 (Next button)
    View3:
    InPlug1 (Next from View1 with option B)
    InPlug2 (Next from View2)
    Outplug1 (Back after navigating from View1)
    Outplug2 (Back after navigating from View2)
    For this simple setup we need 10 plugs and we need to keep track of which View navigated to View3. Is there a simpler way or maybe something we could do different somehow?

    Hi,
    Please go through this tutorial.
    It explains how you can pass parameter inside the fire plug and how you can navigate to a view of your choice from a list of views.
    It does not directly address your problem.But then this is possible solution with some intelligent coding.

  • UILoader and next-button

    Hi!
    I use UILoader to load pictures from folder. Example 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc. I have just buttons to browse pictures. Button 1 loads picture 1 etc.
    Now I need next and back buttons to browse pictures. Is it possible to do? How?
    Here is code I use:
    var photo:UILoader = new UILoader();
    var defaultPIC:URLRequest = new URLRequest("1.jpg");
    photo.load(defaultPIC);
    picbox.addChild(photo);
    photo.scaleContent = false;

    I have my Quiz Manager setup to Allow backward movement and
    to Show progress. I have not enabled any other settings on the Quiz
    tab. On the Options Tab, I have under the If passing grade, jump to
    "go to next slide" and under If failing, I have Allow user 2
    attempts and Jump to "go to next slide".
    For each slide I have the same setup under the Options tab as
    what I have noted on the Quiz Manager.
    I have published and tested the movie. I'm still unable to
    use the Back and Next buttons.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thank you,

    I bought an iPhone 5 around fifteen days back and it has already started to give problem with the on/off button. I have to press it five six times to switch it on or off. I am so frustrated by the fact that if I bring it to the service centre, I am going to get a refurbished phone in place of my brand new phone which I just bought. The idea of a used phone repulses me. Any solutions ?

    Why?  Your current phone is used... it has been since the instant it was removed from the shrink wrap and turned on.

    Live with the phone as is.
    Take the device to Apple for evaluation... it may not need replacement.
    Even if it does, neither you or the Apple tech should be able to tell if the replacement is new or refurbished.

  • Vista Ultimate, Firefox 4.01 just installed. The back and forward buttons do not work with this new installation. Help please.

    O?S is Vista Ultimate 32 bit fully updated. I have just installed Firefox 4.01. I have lost use of back and forward buttons - they are greyed out. Is there a solution please?

    It is possible to have earlier data in a tab if the latest tab had target="_top" that means the back key will not work, but if your right-click on the back/forward you see a context menu. As far as I know the only difference between 3.6 and 4.0 ws that the drop-down arrow was dropped but like before you can still right-click.
    There are some extensions that mess with the Back/Forward buttons.
    There is a difference between gray and '''black''' on the buttons, '''black''' means there is history in that direction.
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

  • With version 5 of Firefox, if I open more than 1 session, most of the time I cannot see anything in the navigation bar and my back and forward buttons do not work.

    I open 1 session of Firefox 5.0.1 and everything seems to work fine. Then I open a second session of Firefox and most of the time the navigation bar does not show the page that I am on and the back and forward buttons do not work. When this happens, the first session always remains working. I am an internet marketer so I have at least 2 or 3 sessions going at any given time.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Can't back-up new iMac with fusion HD.  The back-up proceeds to within 10% of the total storage needed and then the "of" number increases.  I suspect there is a problem with backing up the fusion drive.  We have a new 3 TB time Capsule.  Any ideas?

    Can't back-up new iMac with fusion HD.  The back-up proceeds to within 10% of the total storage needed and then the "of" number increases.  I suspect there is a problem with backing up the fusion drive.  We have a new 3 TB time Capsule.  I tried excluding different parts of the software from the back-up but it didn't make any difference.  I even tried exluding "invisible items" to no avail.  Any ideas?

    When you setup the wireless and ethernet in the computer.. ipv6 will be on automatic.. this is wrong for the latest TC firmware and airport utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
    Go to the wireless and ethernet setup in preferences and change ipv6 to link local.
    Once you do the big backup by ethernet the wireless will function fine for incremental.. it is obviously not estimating the size correctly..
    A full back-up on the iMac would be about 650 GB.  The partial updates that I have been trying start out at 115MB and keep growing indefinitely.  The original back-up never finished nor have any of the follow-up attempts.
    The first estimate should be the full backup but it will keep growing as the backup advances.. I would also delete any inprogress files to make sure it is not messing up .. delete even a sparsebundle if there is one for the imac on the TC and start afresh once you have ethernet connection.
    See A10 here.
    Pondini may have some other clues there to give you an idea of why the backup is slow or not finishing.. there is a lot of issues with TM when it decides not to work.
