Articulate Storyline 2: Using JavaScript

In this screencast, I'll show you how to use some JavaScript code to display the system date from your computer and show it on a slide.

This was the code that I used:
var currentTime = new Date()
var dateString=month + "/" + day + "/" + year
var player = GetPlayer();
player.SetVar("SystemDate",dateString);

Thanks Matt! This was very helpful.

In scenarios etc, this method looks like a good way to add today's date to things like mock emails or direct messages, to make the course content seem more real.

(And in recent versions of Storyline, it seems you can now preview simple JavaScript, rather than having to publish your content. Yay!)

Matthew, thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm not experienced in writing code, would you share this with me please?

Thanks,
June

var currentTime = new Date();
var mon = currentTime.getMonth()+1;
var days = currentTime.getDate();
vary years = currentTime.getFullYear();
var dateString = mon + '/' + days + '/' + years;
vary players = GetPlayer();
players.SetVar("SystemDate", dateString);
