Images in Moodle Book Module

I am a new user Moodle version 1.9.1. I installed the book module and have been creating several books for classes. I do not have a HTML header as the one above and in the Moodle docs it shows one. I am unable to insert images or hyperlinks.

Any suggestions.

Are you using Opera or Safari? If so, those browsers don't support the html editor. Please try Firefox. (This has been discussed widely. A search for "html editor doesn't show" or something similar will show this.)
If this is not the problem, then please advise.

Try going to site admin and then appearance>html editor and make sure that "use html editor" is ticked/checked.

Have you tried looking at it with a different computer just to rule out the possibilty that it is some security setting on your sysyem?

Hi, E.L.,

I determined with a little experimentation that the issue with getting my materials into the book had to do with the extensive information in the head, which included javascript and css support. The Book doesn't support that and blocks javascript (as you suggest) because of security problems.

Moodle works just fine if I try to import my materials as a Web site.

Thanks for your comment!

Cheerily,

Dan

Dan,
Which module are you referring to? I got into this thread way back and after deleating a load of email lost it. The culprit from memory appeared to be the trusted user policy in Moodle. The wiki mentions it but does not actually tell you how to put either a user or a role in as trusted.
If we solve that then things should work.

Hi, John,

I'm referring to the Book module, but I won't be able to change the trusted user policies since I'll be using another school's Moodle instance.

No worries, though. It turns out that if I have some css-dependent pages it's better to import the content as a Web site. I've tried it and it works fine.

Thanks again for your encouragement!

Cheerily,

Dan
