Hi John
sorry been extremely busy with other things but was there meant to me a file attached to your message below?

BTW it's not the Techdis sandpit Graham is using but it is another Techdis install. We have a new sandpit too and I did see someone else have the same problem with Safari on a Mac the other day.

I'll post a separate message on the dev list here but may as well mention this now too that in the absence of a zip attached to your message I grabbed the latest trunk (which obviously has many more updates than just yours) and updated a test install and that was causing problems. It seemed to be adding \ in lots of places and therefore breaking the xml e.g.

	<learningObject resume=\"true\" language=\"en-GB\" name=\"Learning Object Title\" navigation=\"Linear\" textSize=\"12\" displayMode=\"default\">
		<title linkID=\"PG1371648227672\" name=\"Enter Page Title\" size=\"30\"><![CDATA[Enter title here]]></title>
		<textGraphics hidePanel=\"true\" linkID=\"PG1361433467001\" name=\"Enter Page Title\" align=\"Left\" imagesize=\"full screen\" url=\"FileLocation + \'media/800_x_516.jpg\'\" tip=\"Enter a Tooltip\" transcriptbuttonlabel=\"Transcript\"><![CDATA[Enter text for the page here]]></textGraphics>

	</learningObject>

Hi Alistair/Ron,

I think I have now got to the bottom of this bug and have produced a patch. It would be great if you were able to either apply the patch attached (instructions below) or upgrade to latest trunk.

Inside the attached zip is a folder called 'modules' with other files/folders inside. If you unzip and drop the 'modules' folder into the root of your install (there will already be a folder there called 'modules' - just grant permissions to overwrite and the problematic files will be replaced.

Let me know when/if one of you can do this and i'll email Graham to see if he can test in Safari - I assum it's the Sandbox he's using as he said Alistair supplies it - if so then I can also test on Mac/Safari to make sure it is now fixed.

Thanks in advance...
