question about the input box (essay question)

Number of replies: 7

we had our students' final exam and during the exam, students called us that after typing their answers (several sentences & input box is set -20 lines), they cannot add more sentences and the cursor is reverting back to the first line. we adjusted setting to 40 lines but same thing occurs. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Also, the box where to input  gets longer. How can we make it wider so it will fit the computer screen?

Please advise.

Which version of Moodle are you using?

Using current 2.5 version I see no problem for entering as much text as you went into the HTML editor of a Lesson's essay question.

I still don't understand the problem you mention in your original post. Don't the students have the HTML editor when they type their essay, similar to the one I posted?

Can you post a screenshot?

Hi Joseph,

We removed the HTML editor to make things simplier. Students say that there's a limit of number of sentences they can type in.

Maria "We removed the HTML editor to make things simplier."

Why didn't you say so in your original post? Seems like you did not make things simpler but created your own problem.wink

How did you "remove the HTML editor"?

is that so? But that should not affect/limit the length of the content you put in, right? I've change the input box size to add more lines.
