Final Submit button on quiz extremely unresponsive

I have a cs 4 project that i migrated to cs 5 captivate and most everything seems to work ok (except short answer slides) but anyway the major problem is that when i get to the final slide the submit button works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't and when it does work you usually can't make it work unil around 10-20 seconds have passed of just staring at the page.
I use the report by email function then i hijak the sendmail function to submit the reuslts to my own custom php page and mysql database. CS4 never had this issue. However i konw the hijaking of the javscript shouldn't be the problem becasue it eventually does submit the page it just takes like 10 -20 seconds and repeated pressing before i ever see any type of waiting for page.... (to let me konw the browser actually submitted something)
Im using FF3.6 FF4.0 IE 8 and they all work hit or miss (multiple projects same problem)
its crippling my progress since people finish the test and then they hit the submit button and nothing happens.
Any thoughts?
David

I too am having the same issue.
All tests I created in Captivate 4 did not have an issue. We have to add a javascript code to submit to our reporting system, but that has never caused an issue.
Now, my Captivate 4 tests as well as all Captivate 5 tests require hitting the Submit button twice. I have waited up to 60 seconds to see if our confirm window opens and it doesn't until I hit Submit again.
I am including the code we use. It has to be an aspx file to work properly with our system.
This has cause us to have to manually submit over 150 scores by hand. Please HELP.

Submit button in quiz

Here's something on my Captivate "wish list" --
It would be user-friendly if Captivate could create a quiz
where the learner's pressing the Enter key would engage the Submit
button on the page.

Hi there Janatwork
Your wish is granted. That is, assuming you are using
Captivate 3.
Captivate 3 allows you to double-click the buttons on a
Question slide and change their formatting. You may also elect to
assign a shortcut key!
Cheers... Rick

Submit Button Greyed Out (v 4.0.5)

I have been using Compressor successfully for about a year. Recently it updated to v4.0.5. Now I am not able to submit, with the final Submit button greyed out. I have checked my Destination folder permissions and all appear correct.
What could be the cause of this, and what shall I do? I need to render a program urgently for broadcast.
Thanks
Geoff

I just resolved a similar problem. I am running OSX 10.6.8 on a MBP 13" 2010.
Once inside Compressor I'd click on "submit" and the drop down window would show "none" next to "Cluster:" and the submit button was greyed out.
I called Apple Care and they had me delete the preference file "com.apple.Compressor.plist" file from my user>library>preferences folder. This did not fix the problem on its own.
They then had me delete the Apple Qmaster folder from user>library>application support. This did not fix the problem on it's own.
I then reinstalled the Compressor application itself. This did not fix the problem on its own.
I then verified permissions and repaired permissions using disk utility. This did not fix the problem on it's own.
I then clicked on "Share Monitor" which is found on the Compressor task bar. "This Computer" was displayed in the left column. I simply clicked on it in order to high light it. I left the "Share Monitor" window open and went back to the submit panel and "This Computer" was now displayed next to "Cluster:" and the program is now working again.
YMMV.

Green highlight box appearing on the quiz submit button

Hi all,
There is an unusual green highlight box appearing on my quiz slide when I roll my mouse over the 'submit' button (on the published version). This has never happened before, please help!
Screenshot below
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
When you move button on a Question slide then please make sure you move button parent area don't move internal content of the button.
So, when we hover mouse on button then "Green background color" is used to depict OnFocus. Now if you move button content then hover area will be complete parent button area.
Please see attached screenshot to better understand.
So, in present question slide please move internal content of button in correct position or delete this Question slide and ad new question slide and move parent button area to change button position.
Let me know if this solve the problem.
Thanks

Shortcut on Quiz Submit button make "click" not work! CP8 - HELP

Can someone help me out here?
Okay, I have a few quiz questions. If I have not shortcut on the submit button, it works just fine. If I put "Enter" on the submit button, I cannot click it. Yes, Allow Mouse Clicks is checked.
I would like my users to be able to press enter or click.
Running cp8 on win 8.1. Tried in preview mode, as well as published in IE and Chrome.
Feels like I'm losing my mind! I have also tried with accessibility enabled and not. Not that it should make a difference, but I tried it.
Thanks for any insight gang,
Lori

Looks like I have fallen victim to the transparent button again. When I switch the quiz buttons to text or image, the shortcuts on them work just fine. Then they are transparent I have issues. The nice thing about transparent is that you can color them. Because you can't use smartshapes as actual quiz buttons (submit, etc) at least not that I'm aware of, I have had to place a smart shape on the masterslide and overlay a text button with "make transparent" selected on top to make my buttons look AND behave correctly. Adobe is now aware of the issue.

Unresponsive submit button

I'm locked out of my Quora account, at least via Firefox. I don't know how I logged out (it was unintentional) but when I enter my username and password at their login screen, the submit button is unresponsive.
I contacted Quora, and they couldn't reproduce the problem using several browsers, including Internet Explorer and Firefox. I cleared two days' worth of history, and even reinstalled Firefox. No results.
Along the way, I tried it in IE9, and it worked fine. (I don't use Google Chrome because it got to a point where it didn't play and get along well with my computer, never seemed to close completely, frequent BSOD upon opening . . .)
One thing I noticed with IE: when you log in to Quora, when you enter your e-mail, your name and profile pic display while it waits for you enter your password and click submit. This doesn't happen in Firefox, either.
Do I possibly have a Firefox add-on that's messing things up? Can it be fixed? I'd like to keep using Firefox, but I'm a bit of a Quora addict, and I hate Internet Explorer . . .

Adobe Captivate Quiz- Submit Button

Hi
In the Quiz slides there is a "Submit" button. On clicking this button we get Correct / incorrect (text box). This is fine.
But we want to also show a separate image/graphics ( correct answer).
AAA. How can we program the "submit" button to launch Correct / incorrect (text box) & a graphic and pause on the slide. Move to next slide when "Next/Skip" button is pressed.
BBB. If Submit button cannot be programmed, is there another way to show image/graphics (correct answer) along with Correct / incorrect (text box) after clicking submit.
To us only option available is to put the correct answer image in a blank slide after each question. This approach will double the number of slides in the quiz. Anything more efficient?
Thanks and regards
Rajan

Hi there
I just performed a small test and made it work as follows. This assumes you are using Captivate 4.
First I inserted an image on a Question slide and configured it as invisible.
I then created an Advanced Action that performed the following actions.
I then assigned the action to the "if correct" action for the question.
During playback it seemed to behave exactly as you are requesting. The Question slide remained in place with the image visible until I clicked the Next button. The scoring seemed to remain unaffected.
Cheers... Rick

Submit button in Cap 7 quiz does not advance learner to next quiz slide

I created a 5 question MC quiz in Cap 7. When I take the quiz in the preview mode, I am able to advance to the next slide by clicking on the submit button. Well, when I click on the submit button, a pop up appears that says: Correct - click anywhere or press 'y' to continue. Once I click anywhere, *then* I am taken to the next question.
However, when I take the quiz in a web browser, I cannot advance to the next slide, even when I answer the question correctly. I click the submit button. The same pop up appears as in the preview mode: Correct - click anywhere or press 'y' to continue. So, I click anywhere but nothing happens. The slide does not advance.
I've created a few quizzes before in Cap 7 using the same settings so I was stumped when the quiz didn't work this time. Maybe I accidentally changed a setting??

The jump to slide works great. Yes, the user goes right back to the quiz after remediation. The user can then change her answer and click submit. However, she can not advance forward. Sigh.
I am a freelancer who inherited the template from the former freelancer. I was told to use her template to create the trainings. So I am. I was supposed to use all the settings she used, too. That's why the Required is set to: User must answer every question'
I can try your idea and the Requirements in the settings.
What's odd, though, is that I've developed a Quiz using these same exact settings and it worked perfectly. That's why it's odd that the Quiz is no longer working correctly.
Okay, let me try to change the Required settings.
By the way, the submit button works fine in the Preview mode, just not the Web Browser mode.

Submit button disappears when returning to the quiz slide

Hi everyone,
We just upgraded from Captivate 4.0 to 5.5. I'm learning 5.5 differences from 4.0 and have one that I can't figure out.
On the quiz slides, if the learner moves back and forward within the quiz slides, the quiz buttons are fine. However, if they click Back on the 1st quiz slide, then go forward to the quiz slide the submit button flashes briefly then disappears for that slide and all the other quiz slides. I can't find a setting to fix this.
Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sounds like a quiz scope issue. If you click back on the first quiz slide that would take you to the slide BEFORE the first quiz slide which is technically outside the quiz scope. This usually results in Captivate locking the quiz.
I haven't personally seen this button disappearing act but you can test whether quiz scope is the likely culprit by adding a scored click box to the first slide of the project, which will then extend the quiz scope out to that slide. If this prevents your quiz slide buttons from disappearing, we know where the issue comes from. That may mean you have still found a bug that needs to be fixed though.

CP 8.01 - Hiding the Submit button when returning to Quiz slide

Hi,
After answering a quiz and returning to the same slide later on, the submit button is still present but disabled. I would like for it to be removed/hidden entirely since IMO, I do not think that you have to display it once you have answered the question. Is there a way to do this?
David

Captivate provides no way to do this. You cannot hide the Submit button another object either.

Captivate 8 - submit buttons/images no longer showing on devices after adding text with javascript

I'm working on a Captivate 8 project to publish to devices through PhoneGap. This is working successfully on iPhone and Android so far. I have modified the quiz so I have 2 types of quizzes with 3 levels each without the final score showing at the end (they have to get the answer correct to move on to the next question). The submit buttons and image I added to each slide has been working perfectly until I added a text caption with a variable to show "Q X of 6" for each question, with X being a variable that increments by 1 for each slide and then I have another script at the end of each level to reset the variable back to 0. This is working, however the submit button/success message and image on each slide is now not showing. The submit button appears to still be on the screen as I can click in the same area where the it should be and it works but appears to be faded completely out, and the success message now shows so lightly I can hardly see it. My image does not show at all now. I've checked the timeline and they are all set the same, to appear for the rest of the slide. Any ideas?

actually I think it might be an issue related to upgrading my Mac from Mavericks to Yosemite as the app was working perfectly before. I stripped all the javascript off and repackaged and it's having the same issue so I don't think it's the javascript. I'm going to keep looking into this.

Add advanced action to submit button and setting different objectives score for the same course

Hi, i would like to increase a counter in a quiz slide when the user press the submit button, using advanced actions.
It's like if the submit button is somehow inhibited from certain options, and i cannot find how to add an advanced action to it.
what i need, is to allow unlimited attempt until the user selects the right answer. each time the user click on submit, a counter increases by one. When user finally select the right answer, we read the counter value and assign a different score, depending on the attempt (for example: 1st attempt=20 points, 2nd attempt=10 points, 3rd attempt=0 points)
After that, i need to save all score obtained for a certain group of quiz slide separately from the "main score" (i think the main score is stored in cmi.objectives.0.score) to have partials scores for a course. I examined the "advanced interactions" panel and i noticed that for each quiz slide there is a specific interaction ID and each quiz slide is associated typically to the same Objective ID. What i need is to associate different groups of slides to different Objective ID's.
In Storyline i was able to do this by passing to the lms a cmi.objectives.n.score (where "n" is the place in the objectives array) and i did it by executing a javascript on success for each question slide. (each javascript added the score of previous slides in the same group to obtain the total score of the group to be passed to lms with a specific function).
examining captivate scorm functions in the published scormdriver.js i found the following function
function SCORM_SetObjectiveScore(strObjectiveID,intScore,intMaxScore,intMinScore)
so i think it can be done the same way in captivate executing javascript in the right way.
Is there also an easier solution to write different scores to different obectives in the same course?
many thanks for any help!

Indeed, Submit button is part of the Question slide, not a normal button. You can add a custom shape button, but it will never replace what happens when the Submit button is clicked: validation of the answer, showing captions, adding to score etc. Making the score depending on the attempt is not possible with default functionality, it is possible with custom question slides, but then the reporting to LMS is another issue. You should try to do it by JS, or if you only need SWF-output you could use the Master widget by InfoSemantics.

How do I create multiple TEBs with one submit button on one page in Captivate 7

I've read other posts on this topic (which refer primarily to earlier versions of Captivate) and am still at a loss as to how to put multiple text entry boxes on a page with one submit button. Here's my scenario:
I am creating test questions.
Each test question has multiple text entry boxes (for numbers only).
Student should be able to enter numbers into the textboxes in any order.
Then there is one Submit button that should initiate validating all the text entries, and move to a scoring page (so I can test it). (What would be best is if this button not only did the above, but also submitted scores to the LMS. But that is not my question at this time.)
I'd like this question to be set up as a template so that I can duplicate it, be able to add or delete text boxes and change the values required in the text boxes.
Here is an image of a sample question page with multiple TEBs. The yellow boxes tell the student where they need to enter text:
Any help or direction to help is appreciated!!

I think the problem here is that Arlhoolie wants all of the different TEBs to behave as if they were part of a single interaction that submits only ONE result to the quiz. Using multiple TEBs in Captivate means that you have multiple scored objects and therefore multiple results being submitted to the quiz.
If you want a single Success or Failure result submitted to the quiz based on the results from multiple interactive objects then there really is no simple way to do it. But you could try using the Infosemantics Interactive Master widget to combine all the TEBs as slave objects that report to the Master Widget, which then reports a single score to the quiz based on the results from the slave objects.
You can learn more about the Master widget here:

You can download a free trial version of the widget here:

One caveat you should be aware of is that this widget is not HTML5 compatible.

How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click? (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).

Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

Cluster (sub menu) submit button grayed out

hello all
as of today my compressor has stopped allowing me to submit the batch i set up.
having sent an item from FCP to compressor, i get to set the options for settings and destination and then when i hit the submit button a second menu pops down regarding cluster options of which i have none. i add a name to this box yet no mater what other options i change the *submit button in this sub menu remains grayed out!*
http://twitpic.com/jj7n2
i have tried reinstalling compressor, and eventually the whole suit. i have removed the various prefs and qmaster stuff. i have used the fix compressor utility from digital rebel, repaired permissions and cleared out cache, but still *grayed out submit*.
what thoughts cloud genii?

I'm having the same problem.
This comes after suffering persistent crashing of Compressor 3.5 on launch and finally having to reinstall to at least fix the crashing problem. But now I can't submit any processes - the button is greyed out.
Can't remember setting this up originally, but it use to say "This Computer" for processing - do I need to add my computer to a list of available processors?
Any help hugely appreciated,
Simon
