[Xerte] Re: Excluding blank fields from display

[Julian Tenney]

It's because your answers are blank, but the code builds a string of carriage returns, forcing the scrollbar to appear - try replacing the attached model

Yeah, you're right from didactic point of view. On the other hand,
sometimes the layout of a quiz doesn't look very good when appears in

>> Hello,
