[Xerte] Re: xerte XOT HTML5 - graphical menu, connector pages

[Smith, John]

There isn't just now but there are flash players written in pure js that are starting to become mature and similarly pdf and jmol viewers. We're nowhere near yet but in the future we could probably build a js equivalent of xerte standalone so you would import existing or create new xerte models directly in xot for ipad deployment...

As for the other functionality you require Ron, most can be done by turning off linear navigation and inserting your own navigation images and using the pagelink functionality (rightclick selected text for context menu).

For the checkmarks you would need to use js on the last page of each section to store a flag that a section was complete and then manually show ticks on menu based on flag. Relatively easy to setup but would need redoing for every LO.

Since the point of the html5 is to dispense with the Flash plugin, that would sort of defeat the purpose.
Hence, I don't believe there is an HTML/JS analog for "Insert Xerte content".
