    Captivate 7: Text Entry Boxes not showing failure captions when wrong data is entered.

      Hi.  I'm running Captivate 7.0.1.237 on a PC with IE 9 as my default browser.

      Something has changed about Text Entry Boxes (TEBs) and the way they validate.  It used to be that I would enter several user validation options and, if the user didn't enter one of the correct entries in the TEB my failure message would come up telling them what to enter.

       

      That isn't happening anymore, instead, when I have the TEB set to go to the next slide, the project advances to the next slide whether they've input a correct answer or not.  I can type any kind of junk into a TEB and I get no failure caption.

       

      At this point, I have experimented with changing my TEBs to the following settings, and have added a click box set with the shortcut set to tab (because that is how the application I am teaching moves from field to field,) but the problem is still occurring. Earlier in the project I had the short cuts for my TEBs set to tab, but that is when I noticed the problem:

      I've only put my TEB close to the top of my timeline because I was having problems with click boxes not displaying failure messages when they were farther down in the timeline.  So they are now on top.

      Thanks!
