Moodle in English: Cannot make line break (enter) in quiz essay type textarea - Moodle 2.0

by Jack Challenger - Wednesday, 9 February 2011, 6:36 PM

Hi all,

I have a random essay type quiz question, and had to disable TinyMCE, because random essay questions does not work with that yet (see bug MDL-26236 )

But now, when I just use the textarea, its impossible to make a linebreak, when you press enter, nothing happens.

All other textareas work, for example when I use an online assigment, etc...., only the essay type quiz question wont make a linebreak.

Could this be a bug? My moodle installation is pretty fresh (1 week old), so I doubt i could have mucked it up so quickly .

Anyway, I'll wait a bit before I file a bug, cos is it is, it would mean that random essay questions are not doable in Moodle 2.

Thanks!!

Works a charm. Thanks Tim!

Just one thing - you forgot to add a closing bracket here:

e.target.test('input[type=img]') && !e.target.test('textarea')) {

Thanks again!

Thanks, particularly for catching my typo. This fix should now be in next week's weekly build.
