JavaScript in HTML 5 page

Follow
Ken Masters

Hi

I have some HTML with Javascript (the simple MCQ test that  I have posted here:

http://support.ibuildapp.com/entries/22237968-A-Free-Quiz-MCQ-Self-Test-for-you.

  • I use the e-book template, I add a chapter to the contents area, create a chapter, open it to edit, switch to HTML, and insert the HTML code.  It runs perfectly (not in the simulator, but in the phone, which is fine with me).
  • In the same app, however, I add an HTML 5, and insert the identical code.  It shows up in the simulator and the phone, but the Javascript will not execute.

Does Javascript execute in the HTML 5 page?  Or do I have to do something to the code to make it work?

Thanks

    Hi Ken, please, use WYSIWYG editor to fill the HTML page with the content. We can't guarantee you that all the code you added not via wysisyg will work for you on your end.

    Hi

    Thanks - it's a pity, because I want to enter Javascript, and this can't be done through the wysiwyg editor (it works fine in the e-book template when I enter raw javascript through the html editor).  Ah well, can't have everything :-).  Thanks anyway.

    The only way I know is to add the e-book as a widget.  You can then create a chapter and add your code in there.  You will still need to test it, but it has more chance of running there than a standard HTML5 page.

    I also tried using javascript like that, and it made the iBuild site go berserk. The screen zoomed to ridiculous proportions, all the scroll bars disappeared, etc. Too bad; having the ability to use javascript would make this really powerful.

    Yeah, they've changed some stuff.  My students reported that my JavaScript I gave them did not work.  So, I looked at the app in which it was working, copied-and-pasted my JavaScript to another part of the same app, and it doesn't work.  As you save it, iBuildApp changes the JavaScript :-(

    Our mobile engineers are currently looking at the issue with JavaScript malfunctioning in the HTML5/JS editor. We will inform you when the hotfix will be released for HTML5/JS to full functionality.

    I am having this problem today. As I save my code in the HTML editor it deletes portions of it and it does not run the JavaScript.  Its been a while since this was posted... Have you released the hotfix yet?

    Dear Tudo321,

    Not all of the html functions are applicable to all Android versions. Please, send us the name of the application and the full description of the problem to support@ibuildapp.com and our engineers will take a closer look at this issue.

    Sincerely,

    IBA Team
