<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I'll check this out. It's odd because at some point I must have tested it and it must have worked fine in the test suite. I don't have a 2004 compliant 'real live' LMS to try it in, so the test suite is my only way of testing. I did try it in moodle, but their claims of 2004 compliance were misleading in my experience - but that was a few versions ago,</FONT></DIV>
