Closing a Moodle window from a XERTE SCROM object

Hi

Has anyone found a nice solution for elegantly ending a session viewing a Xerte created SCORM object in Moodle. I tried to put a hyperlink in my final page to take me back to the Moodle home page , this worked , but it just pushes the Moodle player window behind the browser and then when a new object is opened it appears in the background i.e. you don't see it.

The only 'solution' I have found I have is to close the window by hitting the cross in the upper right of the browser window. Which is rather ugly.

I found a nice bit of html to add a window close button

<input type="button" value="Close window" onclick="self.close()">

It works in the Xerte viewer but has no effect when its embedded in Moodle

Any ideas gratefully received

Paul

Hi Paul,

Sorry it's been so long and no-one has replied to this. Did you ever manage to find anything that would work reliably?

I had a quick Google and it seems that others have a similar issue, although not with XOT, but have found no solution so it may not be possible in a short line of code but require something more substantial to communicate back to MOODLE...

Did you try window.close() although I expect this to exhibit the same behaviour as self.close()
