Multiple Choice not working in Firefox 3

Hey there! I'm using the multiple choice quiz in lesson module, which works fine as intended in Internet Explorer 7, but it doesn't work properly in Firefox 3.

User was only to go to the next question once they've answered the current question correctly. Otherwise they will get redirected back to the current question until they answer it correctly. In Firefox 3 it does not matter whether user clicked on the correct answer or not, it still continues to the next question.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
I am using 3.0.1 as my usual browser and have not noticed that. I will find out in a few minutes. Which version of Moodle are you using.

What about Max attempts setting. Your description is what will happen once the max attempt number is exceeded. The student is sent to the next question after their wrong answer.

Could have something to do with cookies and your history. Dump your session cookies and web history and reenter the Moodlesite and try again. And remember that Lesson is recording the answer at the screen change. Using the backbutton is like attempting the question again, but with the previous history of attempts.

Hope this helps.

Chris

Hey Chris! Thanks a lot for pointing that out. I've just changed the max attempt setting and it works fine. It's a bit odd though because it was set as one attempt, yet in IE it still doesn't move forward until I click on the correct answer. In any case, now I know =) Thanks again!

Hey Kristy,
I guess if it walks like at duck but smells like a rose, then it must be odd smile

Very interesting that your theory is that in IE Lesson records a question attempt when the student selects an answer and pushes the button (according to the book, the way it should work). However, Mozilla records a question attempt when they enter (or leave by any method) the question. The result being that max attempts apparently works differently.

Sometimes browser cache and cookie history can mess things up in the testing process for the teacher acting as a student or acting as different students (test1, test2 and etc). This is something I have been rediscovering recently. On the surface it makes the interface appear to be giving different results.

As an aside, I just discovered the Firefox addin for web developers. No instruction manual so I am still groping my way with it as an illiterate web developer trying commands. The "Cookies" pull down menu has a delete domain cookies, with another one for delete session cookies. The View Cookie Information in a Moodle site is interesting and down right scary when visiting other sites smile

Best Chris
