I'm going to have to give this back.

My XOT install worked fine last time I used it a month ago, now after a couple "Full headers not returned" error messages, when I preview I get the engine xml loaded screen and there it sits.

Don't think I'm going to have the time to re-install/troubleshoot it.

Sound like the install or something up with my host?

    Note that i can think of - the quiz has one, but it just appears as
    text - it might make sense for the text to be above the white flex
    swf (if there)

      Is there an archetypical feedback box used elsewhere?

      Might as well maintain look/feel.

      categories.rlm

      nottingham.rlt

      data.xwd would be the three i would start with - but i would
      suspect the rlm is where most of the work will be, and just a text
      entry in the xwd

          Message body

            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:

            Check your answers against the recommended answers given
            below:

                 Category 1: Item 2, Item 5 etc etc
            ..........................

                 Category 2: Item 1, Item 3, etc  etc
            .......................

                 Category 3: Item 4, Item 6, Item 7, etc
            ......................

            So, just enough room for revealing four lines of feedback

            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.

            Add a feedback node to the xwd, with the other basic
            properties. Type TextArea height 50.

            Then when judging, show the feedback trough setText if some
            criteria met.
