Yeah I’ve sent an email  to xerte@ list regarding that but somehow my email for that list is screwed and nothing is going through… tried resetting but still in limbo…

This is why we need a v2.1 release!

Fay did a lot of fixes between 1.9 and 2.0, and even more since. I can’t replicate it in our install with my own media, which tells me it’s not the latest code that’s causing the problem.

Moving this over to Dev as there are a few issues going on here, maybe another one for the list Nikodem ;-) although if this isn’t happening in trunk then Fay might have fixed it I think these guys are still running v1.9

1)      Coming out of full window mode, LO with audio narration causes bar to not collapse accordingly

[cid:image001.jpg at 01CE7D83.480F19A0]

2)      Similarly going back to full screen keeps bar at smaller size….

[cid:image002.jpg at 01CE7D83.480F19A0]

3)      Resizing the window though snaps bar back

I can replicate the problems in IE.

Chrome is fine though?

Hi Ian and all

There are definitely some cross browser issues on the LO link you provided (above)

FireFox v 13.0.1

Every page works well - videos, interactivities and everything else.

Opera 12.1.5

Every page works well - videos, interactivities and everything else.

IE v10

Slide 5 (clickable map) didn't work

Slide 9 to 14 and slide 24 had voices only - no images or text showing.

The videos all worked.

Google Chrome

Blank white screen - couldn't get anything to show.

As I understand it FireFox and Opera are the most standards compliant browsers which might explain why they work so well. Not sure what the issues are with IE and Chrome though - unfortunately they are probably the most popular browsers for many.

Alistair

Hi,

We were presenting a CPD event on Xerte to college staff yesterday. Two You-tube videos embedded within the HTML 5 presentation appeared blank similarly an interactive map with hotspots added. When we switched the document to Flash everything was as normal (we lost a little formatting on one page).

We use IE 9 at college.

Last night I played the HTML 5 Learning Object within Chrome and it worked fine.

Can anyone offer any solutions as we are looking to add an "Induction" Learning Object to our VLE in September to support the student induction programme?

Thanks

Ian

Would it be possible to find from the college which browser / version they have? It would be interesting to find out  - especially if you can't replicate it at home.

HI

Many thanks everyone

Will try with some other browsers next time I am in the college, it was the very first page which was a straight forward image/text page [Advanced Media Image]with no additional HTML or otherscript.

It opens fine on my ipad ditto open my home computer on several browsers so it must be something to do with computer setting at the college I was at.... but unless I can identify what the problem is am going to need to use Flash for  demos elsewhere which is not ideal. Creating two versions is not really ideal either although is one option.

Many thanks

Barbara

Subject: Re: XERTEFORTEACHERS query

I've experienced this on a few occasions with the Chrome browser but bizarrely it almost always works if I refresh after a few minutes.

The only other thing that can cause problems is if you add bits of code in the text field - I was doing a demo page to show what Maths formulae look like and sound like to a blind person but the code I cut and pasted into the text field got misinterpreted by Xerte as code to execute!

Hi

Has any one had the same issue with Xerte HTML5 version - having decided to use it instead of the Flash option (you can not just switch between the two, as the images layout goes all over the place) and went to demo at a local college. I had not used the URL or embed link at home.

However when using either the  URL  or Embed code, to show the activity, while the first screen showed on the screen initially it did so very briefly and then presented a white screen and no object. Has any one come-across this already and apologies if this has already been discussed.

I have not tried it on my ipad/iphaone as yet

Many thanks

Hi Barbara

We had something similar, it seems to be around the embedded page. Ours went black and we were unable to navigate past this page. It turns out the embedded code we used from YouTube needed cleaning up and we had to change page type to YouTube Video page. I have created a LO in 1.8 but when I toggle to HTML 5 in 2.0 the embedded webpage doesn’t display correctly (only header section visible), which reminds me I need to play with that LO today. Good luck with the embedded page, hope you get it sorted.
