Ah, I see the problem now - feedback box covering up original page. Ummm, I think that just a bit more room would suffice - though can't provide dimensions. In using this page I would assume users just need the following scripting option:<BR>
<BR>
Check your answers against the recommended answers given below:<BR>
Category 1: Item 2, Item 5 etc etc ..........................<BR>
Category 2: Item 1, Item 3, etc etc .......................<BR>
Category 3: Item 4, Item 6, Item 7, etc ......................<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
So, just enough room for revealing four lines of feedback<BR>

It's easy enough. You just need a text icon for the feedback, the trick is to draw the screen to leave room for it, so the columns need to stop some distance below the bottom of the screen to leave room for the feedback. That's probably based on 514 - x so it will be easy to put in your own x to make them shorter. This is probably why I didn't do it: how much room do you need? You can't put the feedback in a panel over the interaction, because it is important the learner can see both at the same time. You don't want too much space,otherwise it restricts the number of items the interaction can handle. You could measure, and give it the maximum available... more complex, as the measuring mght be tricky.<BR>
<BR>
Add a feedback node to the xwd, with the other basic properties. Type TextArea height 50.<BR>
<BR>
Then when judging, show the feedback trough setText if some criteria met.<BR>
