[Xerte-dev] Re: problem with Interactivy matched text

[Smith, John]

Hi,

I'm not sure that its the inclusion of the <p> and <div> tags that Katrien is concerned about... I was more interpreting it as the fact that you can't drag the boxes down to the lower dropzones because when the page scrolls the dragged box doesn't and so you end up wit the dragged box and the cursor separating, making it very hard to know where you are dropping...

I think that this is a problem with the jquery UI library though and it looks like we are using an up to date version yet the bug still seems to persist. Are either you Fay or Ron able to reproduce this or am I the only one seeing it?

The <p> tags is something that I wanted to look at before the new release. It's the new editor that's putting them in, which fine, but I've noticed other pages too where having them there messes up the layout (even when there aren't unnecessary ones).  I was thinking of adding some css which would do something like remove the top-margin from the first and bottom-margin from the last <p> tags in each section.

In Katrien's example there are loads of unnecessary <br> & <div> tags on the labels though - are these because of the new editor?

Have tested this now and confirmed it's not due to the chosen theme.

It seems the height of the rows is determined by the greatest height of the part 1 or part 2 sentences. e.g. if any of your sentences have multiple lines of text or contain images which make the height larger than a single line of text then all the target heights increase to accommodate the height of the largest box. I guess all the targets/rows need to be the same height otherwise it would be easy to see what goes where just by the different heights of each target.

In the example Katrien has provided it looks like there are unecessary <p></p> tags increasing the height of the largest box and also in the instruction there's <p></p> tags and an image causing the draggable labels to begin lower down the page than would be the case with just a single line instruction.

I wonder whether the collapsible instruction feature Fay has implemented in the media lesson page type might be an addition to improve this?
