How to I get access to the Captivate object in javascript within an HTML file?

Question

I'm still struggling with this and would really appreciate any help/guidance you can .
here's what I've got right now:
var g_bIsInternetExplorer = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1;
document.write("<P><H1> g_bIsInternetExplorer=" + g_bIsInternetExplorer + "</H1></P>");
document.write("<P><H1> setting objCP....</H1></P>");
var objCp = g_bIsInternetExplorer ? Captivate : document.Captivate;
document.write("<P><H1> set objCP....</H1></P>");
var description = objCp.cpEIGetValue("m_VarHandle.cpInfoDescription");
document.write("<P><H1> description=" + description + "</H1></P>");
I've published the captivate project.. I then launch it and then launch the html file that has this code in it
It does everyting up thru and including line 3
But it seems to fail on line 4..
Any ideas /suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hey Jim - thank you thank you thank you
Here's what was up with my code:
This worked:
alert("about to set objCP...");
var objCp = document.Captivate;
alert("completed setting of objCP, about to set get cpInfoDescription...");
var description = objCp.cpEIGetValue("m_VarHandle.cpInfoDescription");
alert("description=" + description);
This did NOT work:
document.write("<P><H1> AT BEGINNING </H1></P>");
alert("about to set objCP...");
var objCp = document.Captivate;
alert("completed setting of objCP, about to set get cpInfoDescription...");
var description = objCp.cpEIGetValue("m_VarHandle.cpInfoDescription");
alert("description=" + description);

I'm guessing the 2nd didn't work because i tried to get the captivate object AFTER the script wrote something to an HTML file.  I'm ultimately trying to get Captivate to generate a report for the user to report out what they did in response to the various quiz questions in the course (in HTML in table).   I've posted a query on how to do this here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5120417#5120417
Any chance you could take a look at this posting and let me know your thoughts on how best to do this .. It seems like this would be a fairly common thing to do .. It comes stock in Articulate Storyline (through their 'Report.HTML') but I haven't found a comparable one in Captivate.
Thanks again!
