Fill-In-The-Blank drop down space issue

Hi,
I have Captivate 7 and am putting in a number of Fill-In-The-Blank quiz questions and using the drop down but when the user makes the selection, not all the words are shown, it cuts off the last few letters and in some cases where I have a one character you can't see any of the answer.
Any ways around this? (Other than not using one character)

Do you need scoring? There is a Scrolling Text interaction (more control, you can empty the variable and it will be displayed empty) but it is a non-interactive one, no score possible except by adding other interactive objects.

Fill-In-The-Blank drop-down list in HTML5 output

I'm working in Captivate 7 (WIN) and developing for both SWF and HTML5 output, viewing courses in IE9 for Windows and Safari on iPad.
I have a quiz containing a fill-in-the-blank question, using a drop-down list to select the correct answer, however it does not display the drop-down button or function correctly in HTML5 output (see screenshot).
The issue began after updating to Captivate 7 version 7.0.1.237. The drop-down list worked prior to the update I installed recently. I'm viewing the published course locally and in the LMS, and it does not work in either.
I've not read in the help documents that drop-down list questions are an unsupported question type in HTML5, and so I'm wondering if this is a bug that needs to be reported. Has anyone encountered this issue?

Fill in the blanks html5 stacking order issue

I am using the fill in the blanks quiz slide but when I publish it out to html5 the dropdown boxes are stacking on top of eachother. How can this be fixed?
Thanks,
Oliver

I have tried your sugestion Rajeev but it does not fix the issue for HTML5 output. I can see that all of the z indexes are set to 1000 surely the first dropdown should have the highest z index.
What else can I try to fix this issue. What could be causing it?
Thanks,
Oliver

Issue with fill in the blank field and back button.

I am working in CP4 AS2. I have create a page of fill in the blank fields to simulate filling in a form. On the next slide, I show the answers by extracting the variables into text boxes. I have a back and a next button and instruct the user to review their answers and if incorrect, to select the back button in order to reenter the data. I have the back button set to jump to the previous slide by number (i've tried previous, last slide, etc...)
The flash movie freezes when I select the back button. I think flash is having trouble going back to the fill in the blank fields from the displayed variables. Any ideas? or work arounds for this. The idea solution would take them back to the page with the data already in the fields so they could correct the errors only and then return to the review page.
Thanks
Scott

Hi there
Is scoring enabled on these? If so, perhaps your quiz settings are preventing backward movement.
Cheers... Rick

Hi
According to your description, since this is SQL Server forum, as Olaf Helper’s post, could you get the correct result if you execute the following query in SQL Server Manager Studio (SSMS)?
select UserName from aspnet_Users where UserId in(select FreindId from myFreinds where UserId in(select UserId from aspnet_Users where UserName = '<your typed name>'))
If you cannot get the correct result in SSMS, I recommend to check the Transact-SQL statement. Apart from the error message, we also need to know the table structure, data, join relationships between tables for further analysis.
However if there is no problem in SQL Server query, it will be an issue that regards ASP.NET and website deployment. I suggest you to post the question in the ASP.NET forums at
http://forums.asp.net/ . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
In addition, there is detail about listbox control in asp.net. You can review the following links:

Changing font / appearance of Fill-in-the-blank questions

1) I am using a Fill-in-the-blank question. I can change the
font of the name and the description, but not of the Blank Answers
themselves. I figure this should be possible, since these are
basically text entry boxes (or drop down lists if you select the
list option). Is there a way to do this? Perhaps an option I
missed, or with a Javascript code that modifies some system
variables, or some other way?
2) Also, how can I get rid of the numbering in front of the
Blank Answers that Captivate generates? Is there a way to do this
(an option I missed, Javascript, or whatever)? I even tried to
cover them up with a highlight box, but Captivate does not allow me
to bring the highlight box in front in z-order.
Surely, you wonder why would I want to do this, especially
#2. One really useful example would be to embed the Blank Answers
in the Phrase itself. Example:
The <1> and the <2> are the two longest rivers on
earth.
1. __________
2. __________
By adding some blanks in the Phrase and moving around the
Blank Answers, this could be turned into:
The __________ and the __________ are the two longest rivers
on earth.
I would think that many would consider the second version
more appealing.
In addition, this would open other possible uses for
Fill-in-the-blank questions. For example, consider a table or
spreadsheet like setting where each Blank Answer is actually a
cell. The user fills in the cells, and all entries are evaluated
when the user submits.

I guess the best response would be generate the
Fill-In-The-Blank question as Captivate requires. After it creates
the questions slide, double click on the text box you wish to edit.
For example, when you publish your question "The <1>
and the <2> are the two longest rivers on earth.", this will
appear as a text box on the screen. Double click it to edit and
change "<1>" and "<2>" to "___________".
You should also be able to edit your answer boxes in this
manner as well.

How to make lines for "fill in the blanks?" (iWork Pages 09)

This should be easy since it's something many people do: design a form for others to fill out with a pen or pencil. However, I can't find any information regarding how to make a line after text, like this:
Name _________________ Address _________________________________ Phone __________
...without using the underline character.
Back on the Clarisworks days there was some way to make nice neat lines after text using tabs. However, It's been so long that I can't recall how it worked. I've Googled this issue using every logical term I can think of but found nothing useful. The Pages 09 help file and the user guide seem to be mute on this subject. The Word 2008 help file is similarly silent. However, I'm sure that the greater Pages community knows the answer to this one.
Thanks,
Bill

What you want is called a tab leader. In Pages, to create the underline:
To create a new tab stop using the Text inspector, click in the document where you want to create a new tab stop, click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click Tabs. Click the Add button in the bottom-left corner of the Tabs pane. The new tab stop appears in the Tab Stops column.
Then use the Leader drop down menu to choose a solid line:

Fill In The Blanks slide

I have created some "Fill in the blanks" slides using the drop down menu option for the answers.
It was working fine yesterday but now, the drop down menu does not appear to allow the user to select the answers.
Any help please...really stuck and under pressure to publish.

I downloaded and had a look: your question is set up as a Survey question, then you never have a validation, correct/incorrect answers. I changed it to Graded and do get the correct captions

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

How do I create a "fill-in-the-blanks" worksheet?

I am a teacher that works with students who have various needs - some of them have a difficult time writing with a pencil. There are tons of great teacher resources out there that I can print and use for students to write on. However online worksheets are another story. I came across the idea of using AdobeForms as an adaptation to writing.
For example...
Yesterday was _____________________. Tomorrow will be _________________.
Or even:
My n__me is _____________.
Can anyone help me? Right now the only way I can do a fill in the blank is to have a field below a blurb of text, but I don't know how to do a field in between text.
Help!

If I were doing this I wouldn't use FormsCentral. I would create the layout in InDesign or a word processor and convert to PDF using Acrobat. I'd then add the form fields in Acrobat where the blank spaces are. You can limit the number of characters in a field and a lot more. Do you have Acrobat available to you? If not another option is to use the free OpenOffice /NeoOffice and create your layout and form fields and then export to PDF.

How do I get back the functionality for the alphabetical drop down from my previous searches in the center Google search box of the Mozilla Firefox Start Page?

In the afternoon of August 24 I lost a feature on my Mozilla Firefox Start Page and I cannot figure out how to get it back. It concerns the Google Search area in the MIDDLE of the page. Previously, when I would want to do a search, for example Amazon, I would type the letter 'A' and, because I had typed 'Amazon' in that Search box before, an alphabetical drop-down menu would come up with 'Amazon' in it. I could then click on that word without having to type the rest of it. That option is no longer working.
I had done an Adobe Reader update that Friday morning, so I thought that might be why this happened,. I did a System Restore and took the system back to Tuesday, August 21. That did not help.
I ran CCleaner and cleaned the Registry also. Interestingly enough, I found that right after I do that and then open a Mozilla Firefox Start Page, the alphabetical drop down function is back in the center Search bar for one time, one search. After that it is gone again. I go in and do just CCleaner (no Registry cleaning required) and the same thing happens...the functionality is there for one search only.
I went in and made sure all my Add-ons/Plug-ins are up to date. I also ran a full system scan but no issues came up.
I am computer illiterate, so please bear with me. I have no idea if any of the things I tried would have helped or not.
I have Windows 7 and Firefox 15.0.1
I appreciate any help you can provide.

The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />

'Unspecified' value in the Prompt drop down

Hi All,
I am facing a very unusual issue in my report.
The 'Unspecified' value keeps showing up in the Prompt drop down even if doesn't really exist in the Database.
This 'Unspecified' value refers to the NULL value.
I have tried using a filter on that field with filter "is Not Null', but this does not seem to work either.
I am stuck.
Does any one have a solution to this?
Many Thanks,
-Roy

Try this simple thing:
for your prompt field in the design, select sql results under show option and write a query that SELECT field name FROM ... WHERE field name NOT NULL.
That's it, no need of filter in the report.

cc2014,
Have you selected an image?
Unless a good explanation appears, you may start onthe list below.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

My search bar is messed up after update. I want the old drop down menu back. I can't search for anything now. Firefox is absolutely useless to me now.

Firefox software update appeared. I allowed it to be installed. It screwed up the search bar/box. I use to be able to click on the magnifying glass icon and ALL the search engine options would appear and I could easily chose one. It was easy. Now nothing. I cannot search anything through Firefox. Firefox is useless to me now, which means I have no computer. Do I have to go out and spend another $1000 to get a new computer? This is not right. You should not do this to a person. Not everybody is technically advanced as some of you are. Now I have no means of searching for anything using Firefox. I really liked Firefox. Now your software update messed me all up. So what am I supposed to do???????????????? IE is worthless. Not safe, not secure, can't trust it. Never works right. Can't even print out correctly. Firefox update should not have messed up my computer. I need to make searches and now I can't. I mean it, it really is not right. So, just for you so called brilliant Stanford types, when I click on the magnifying glass icon or the little, inverted triangle, there is nothing. The search bar is blank. Blank, blank, blank. No longer the quick drop down window with all the available search engine selections. Got it? That's why I've repeated myself. Have a real nice day!

See this KB article to learn how the new Search Bar works - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-bar-add-change-manage-search-engines-firefox
If you want the old Search Bar scheme back do this.
Open up '''about:config''' ''(typed in the Location Bar)'' and toggle this preference to '''''false'''''
'''browser.search.showOneOffButtons'''
Then restart Firefox.
