I've recently completed four modules in Xerte and this would not have been
possible without help from this forum so thanks very much. I have used
page PageWizard's, manually added icons and a tiny bit of script with divers
content from diverse sources and the end result is terrific so thanks to the
Xerte team.<br>
<br>
One issue that it would not go away however has been the problem of the display
mode in the interface icon. When I evaluated adding Ispring into Xerte I came
to the conclusion that if I included the ISpring player the display mode became
unstable. By unstable I mean that when a user selects a display size different
from default eg: larger - the resultant size of the player was such that all
the controls disappeared from view and they could not recover the display
without reloading the learning object. See [Xerte] Ispring SWF - full screen
issues<br>
<br>
Because I work on multiple operating systems and in different browsers I
thought that the problem was I spring but my most recent testing with two
simple pages with one text icon tends to show that it is the xerte player
that has different behavior in different operating systems and browser combination
-irrespective of the what other content you may add. <br>
<br>
These issues are not related using PageWizards as my by testing was with a
simple Xerte player 2.1 and a couple of basic pages with the following
combination of both Firefox and Internet Explorer on the following operating
systems:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'>Vista<br>
Windows XP -- eee PC<br>
Windows XP -- several Tasmanian government computers with highly
controlled policy settings deployed centrally.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><br>
<br>
Windows XP consistently gives gives the worst outcomes whereas Vista gives the
best but far from perfect outcomes. My concern is here is am I doing
something fundamentally incorrect in setting up Xerte or can others replicate
this behavior. <br>
<br>
As i work around I placed a warning not use the display mode control in my
"how to use the player" rlo - a better work around would be to
disable it through the property settings in the interface icon as the default
setting appears stable in all conditions.<br>
