“restore state and position” property not working in html

Hi,
I'm checking the “restore state and position” property for some question and answers texts but it works only in preview not when publish to html. For example, if I click the right answer and the wrong answers disappear, then go to another page and back to this one, the wrong answers are there (they should be still disappeared). Is there nother way to make it work?

It would have to be done manually which at the simplest level would involve using variables to track which elements should be hidden / shown and then using triggers when the page is displayed to activate these.

There should also be a way to hack the HTML5 code to override the initial display properties. I've never had need to do this, but will have a look if I get a chance.

Thank you.
I'm using persistent page variables for input boxes so the text you type stay there when you change pages but I found that some actions triggered when you match the variable work and some don't. when you go to another page and back to the first one disable an object works but show and hide an object doesn't. I can't find a way to solve this.

Gotta love Opus HTML5.

It is possible to add restore state functionality. The code is:

Code:

function objectByStateVisibility(obj,state){

var o = obj.m_objectName;
var p = obj.m_parent.m_objectName

if (state == "hide") {
   window._DWPub[p][o].m_initiallyVisible = false
   obj.Hide();
   } else {
      window._DWPub[p][o].m_initiallyVisible = true
      obj.Show();
   }
}

It works by overriding the default value (m_initiallyVisible) used to build the page. It is used like this:

Code:

objectByStateVisibility(blueFrame,'hide')

Where 'blueFrame' is the name of the object and then whether to hide or show the object.

Please remember that because this is code based, you should ensure that both the page and object names are code compliant.
