Variables size limit.
February 26, 2005 12:00 AM
We want to use Lectora to design dynamically changing surveys. This means you see different survey questions based on previous responses. I can get the logic to work but in order for this to work in a real situation we need to know the answer to the question Pheobe raises here. I wonder though if this is a browser dependent issue involving session limits and not really a Lectora limitation.Aaron, any ideas?Edited By: tekprof on 38462.3434953704

May i know is there any limit to the size of variables or number of variables in Lectora? When i run my file in html, it works fine initially but the variables seem lost track/reset after i go through a few chapters. So i suspect that it may be hitting the maximum of the variables size allowed in Lectora. Is there any way to resolve this except splitting the title into 2 files.Thanks for any advice.
When running in a browser, you are limited to the size allocated for cookies for your folder. In IE, that's a total of 4K of data. For all other browsers, it's 20 cookies with a limit of 4K each (for a total of 80K).One thing you can do, is use the TitleMgr which will prevent the use of cookies for variables ... and keep themin his own memory space. So if publishing to straight HTML, check the "Use TitleMgr" option and you won't have to worry about cookie limits.If you are publishing to AICC or SCORM, you automatically get the TitleMgr ... but you are limited to the size ofPersistent variables (those that get retained from session to session) by the hosting LMS - typically 8K).Make sure you don't have things marked as persistent thatdon't need to be ... question answers can eat up your cookie space real fast if you remember all answers.Tim V
