Dear Martin, Yesss!! Your advice about filepaths worked and my colleague reports being able to see the detective picture when I copied her the file. thank you...
Hi Martin, I was curious to know whether you had ever considered creating a Hidden Word Puzzle potato. I would envision it would look a lot like JCROSS,...
... Here are some examples of javascript wordsearch puzzles of the type you were talking about - promoting Xtianity rather than language learning, but the...
Hi Randy, Lots of people have suggested it, but it's not really the kind of exercise we could make use of in Humanities teaching at a university, so we can't ...
Pete, Sounds great, I'd love to take a look. I couldn't find anything attached to your last post. Is there a web link I could go to? Thanks, Randy ... ...
Thanks Martin, That makes perfect sense. I can't wait to work with the HotPotatoes.net when it is done. Cheers, Randy ... exercise ... can't ... main ... Mac...
Hi Randy, that's funny because one or two weeks ago I got the same idea for such an interactive web site and put it on my list for modifications for my...
I've run into a small problem with a reading text from an external url. When the time expires, the "show reading again" button comes up, but the page does not...
Me again... ...and another problem: I created a cloze quiz with three gaps. The first gap had one main correct answer and two more alternate answers. When I...
This is not spam - I've just found another problem ;-) When a multiple-answer question is created in JBC, the "export for WebCT" function creates the same...
Hi all, It's not really high on our priority list. We've got so many major development processes under way right now that we don't really have space for adding...
Data file and URL please! Also full details of your OS, HotPot version, export version, etc. It's really impossible to help if you don't actually supply us...
Hi there, The output routine should tag the question with :A if "All correct answers must be selected" is checked; otherwise, it tags the question with :C....
Hi there, You are correct -- there's an error there. The problem is caused by calling document.clear() on an external URL -- I don't think that's allowed in ...
Hi there, Got your data, and confirmed the bug -- there's definitely something odd happening after the WebCT export. I'll see what I can figure out. HotPot 5.4...
Hi there, Bug found and fixed. The WebCT output routine was calling a function designed to "Pack" the question list used to store the gapfill answers -- this...
... This is a good question. Too simple a solution could cut users off from valuable resources. Many sites permit you to link to them, but will not give...
... Naturellement no. But we have seen cases where teachers have created quizzes embedding CNN reports and that kind of thing, and it's not really legal to do...
This is right, C stands for cumulative score, and A for "All must be selected" However, what I meant was the % value of the answers. If there are two correct...
Hi Gerald, I take your points. The problem may solve itself in version 6 anyway -- frames are the problem, really -- so I'll think about it for a while. ...
... O'Reilly says it's best to avoid document.clear(). I've noticed that it is included in quite a lot of hotpot code before doing a document.open() and ...
On the other hand, quiz-takers (at least my students) would rather have the reading open in a frame than in a separate browser window (no need to switch...
Hi Pete, ... Mainly old routines that go back a ways -- it used to be standard. As far as I understand it, though, document.open() calls clear() anyway, so ...
Hi Przemek, That's exactly the info I need. I'll work on a solution to this. Cheers, Martin ... ______________________________________ Martin Holmes University...
