Lightbox not saving correct Window Name
March 6, 2014 12:00 AM
I've have changed the Window Name in the New Window Properties box for a particular action, but for some reason, the name that I've entered is not saving. It actually is saving as the name of the course (Title Name). This is occuring in 7 action incidents, but only when lightbox is selected as the Window Style. When New Browser Window is selected as the Window Style, the name I entered saves. Why is this hapening and how do I get it to save as the name I enter for each lightbox? I'm using Lectora 11. TIA

The name of a window is only for internal purposes and is used with the target attribute. It shouldn't be mixed up with the title of a window. The lightbox popup is not a browser window, it's an iframe. The text that is displayed in the header of the lightbox is in a div and can be changed using javascript.

I was able to change the window name with the lightbox option selected but I'm not sure what kind of actions you used. For what purpose would you need different window names when using the lightbox option? Having different window names only makes sense if you want to open multiple browser windows. For instance, I can have 2 different hyperlinks to 2 different pages. If I don't change the window name for each link, this will open each link in the same new window. If I change the window name, it will open each in a 2 separate new windows. This is an HTML property to direct links to open in a specific window. That was my main understanding as to why this option exists. However, since only one lightbox can be open at a time (and I don't think any actual browser window opens), why is this even an option for lightbox pop-ups?
