Hi im looking a way to bookmark a page with JavaScript so that when a user reopens a course it remembers the page he or she is on by sending it to SCORM/Moodle.
any ideas folks?
using scorm 1.2 and Moodle 1.9:)
Many Thanks

Setting lesson_location
is the equivalent of creating a browser cookie... you need to write JavaScript in your course that parses the saved string and makes use of it.
You need to change your code in a number of places -- the code you've provided is an example that sets your course to complete the instant it's initialized. It isn't really what you're looking for.
Here's a quick primer on starting the course and looking for a bookmark:
var bookmark, initialized, status;
var scorm = pipwerks.SCORM; //shortcut for easier typing
function jumpToPage(url){
//write some code that navigates to the specified url
//Save whatever URL was just used as the bookmark
//each time the function is invoked.
scorm.set("cmi.core.lesson_location", url);
}
function init(){
//the default URL in case no bookmark is found
//or when course is launched for first time
var url = "url_of_first_page.html";
initialized = scorm.init();
if(!initialized){ alert("Course failed to initialize"); return false; }
//Get the lesson status from the LMS
status = scorm.get("cmi.core.lesson_status");
if(status === "completed"){
//You're already done, get out of here
scorm.quit();
return; //exit init() function
} else if(status === "ab-initio"){
//this is the very first launch, no bookmark will be found in LMS
//do nothing
} else {
//Check for a bookmark
bookmark = scorm.get("cmi.core.lesson_location");
//If a bookmark is found, use its value as the target URL
if(bookmark){
url = bookmark;
}
}
jumpToPage(url);
}
window.onload = init;
