Hi,
is there a way to use Hype to create a textfield where i can type in my own text into a iBooks and the text will be saved?
We like to go away from PPT to use in our course and use iBooks because of all the animation we can do inside. But we miss a textfield to type in.
Thanx a lot
Andreas
You could try local storage to store the data and a field in Hype. Using a JavaScript event, a variable can be updated whenever the value in a field is changed.
Thanx for your answer.
I will see if i can find some sample code.
By my self i donโt know how java is working.
Thanx Andreas
If you combine the โLightboxโ exampleโฆ
document.addEventListener("input", rgb);
โฆwith the โSavingโ example (Bounce Example)โฆ
localStorage.high = window.score;โ
โฆfrom โA Book About Hypeโ, you can see how itโs done. Actually, the book even uses these examples. The High Score is saved in the โBounceโ example and the RGB color in the โLightboxโ example uses data from an HTML input.
Basically, youโd change the names. โrgbโ is the element ID. โwindow.scoreโ is the JavaScript attribute value being saved to the localStorage. โhighโ is just a short name I gave to it to represent the โHigh Scoreโ.
Will it be saved even after closing the book iBooks?
As soon as i close and reopen the book my text ist gone.
But may its my fault. 
You would need your script to also look and see if the localstorage value exists, and then place it within the input field if it does.
Thereโs a few events here which may be helpful:
And hereโs an actual example of local storage in action in a Widget:
