Hi Bernard, I take your point on Flash. It's one reason I don't like it. The worst validation problems are actually well-formedness problems (tags not closed,...
I know there are a lot of questions in many of my activities. They are replicas of paper copies that teachers run on reams and reams of paper. I chose to...
Hi Tami Maloney, I opened your "problematic" exercise <http://www.iq.poquoson.org/2005vasol/5math/5math05.htm> - in the good browsers - FF1.5.0.6 and SeaMonkey...
Hi there, I thought I had explained to Tami why it's important to validate exercises, but maybe I should put it in more straightforward language: When a...
Okay, I might seem a little dense, but I'm getting it. I'm trying some online tutorials, and hope to get up-to-speed on XHTML, DOMs, CSS, and so on. I had no...

Hi Tami Thanks for your complimentary words. The company (Half-Baked Software) and the product (Hot Potatoes) would be in trouble if Martin and I weren't on...
Hi, Martin I just come over the topic and followed the instructions in Task-1. I understood all except where I should save the modified hp6.cs_ file. Should I...

Beste Martin, This modification is that practical that my suggestion would be, make it standard and give the way which is standard now as a modification in...
HI Henny, This rather goes against our policies, making exercises more controlled, like tests. We're unlikely to include that kind of feature in version 6. ...
Version 7 will have quite sophisticated options for controlling navigation through the exercise. Meanwhile, if you want to do this in version 6, there are...
