Error in variable testing condition

There's an error in the variable testing condition. Variable values can't be generated until it's fixed.

Automatically regenerate variables?

No variables have been defined in this question.

Warning

This variable is an interactive HTML node. Interactive HTML nodes can not be relied upon to work correctly when resuming a session - for example, attached event callbacks will be lost, and mathematical notation will likely also break.

If this causes problems, try to create HTML nodes where you use them in content areas, instead of storing them in variables.

Description
