In part one of this series, we published a simple Captivate course and examined its file structure. In this part, we’ll take an in-depth look at the HTML generated by Captivate (using the SCORM 2004 publishing template) and clean it up as much as we can.

This is a journey into the madness of Internet Explorer. Yes, there is a happy ending.

I’ve been reviewing bug submissions for the SWFObject project and was reminded of a big problem with SWFObject 2.2: the JavaScript technique it uses for detecting Internet Explorer does not work in Internet Explorer 9.

I’d like to say thank you to all the people who posted in the pipwerks forum, and invite you to join me in the new eLearning Technology and Development group.
I’d also like to ask anyone and everyone who develops e-learning to drop by and sign up for the eLearning Technology and Development group. Ask questions — lots of questions — and let’s see if we can get a good community going!
SWFObject.js finds a home on Google servers

Cool news for SWFObject users: the swfobject.js file is now being hosted on Google’s servers as part of the AJAX Libraries API. This means you can directly link to the file on a Google server instead of maintaining a copy on your own server.

Filed under web design and development with the tags SWFObject
When I recently reorganized my SWFObject examples (adding a bunch of SWFObject 2.0 examples), a few links were accidentally hosed. Links fixed. Sorry ’bout that. There are now over 30 examples using over 50 files, and I just tested each and every one of them to ensure they work. (Thanks to Winston for letting me [...]
