Hi Dan,

The "banishment" of the target attribute in XHTML strict is the topic of many discussions on the Web. Just type xhtml strict target _blank in Google and see for yourself the pros and cons. See for instance: How evil is the target attribute?

Personally, when I am surfing the Web, I do want external links to open in new windows (or, preferably, in new tabs). I hate it when an external link opens in the window I am actually browsing. Just to make sure the latter does not happen, I usually right-click on links and specifically ask for "new tab" location.

I do appreciate that this is very subjective and that other people may hold exactly the opposite view.

What I find irritating, however, is that the people in charge of XHTML strict have taken the decision of "deprecating" the target attribute, thus favoring one point of view, rather than letting web pages designers free of their choice.

Hi,
I do not understand what you mean by "imported external html resource - course". Do you mean:

1. HTML pages created outside of Moodle and then uploaded to your course Files and then linked to in: Add a resource / Link to a file or web site?
2. or HTML Pages sitting on a server independent from Moodle and linked to as external HTLM pages?

If #2, then autolink is not possible.
If #1, what do your HTML files look like when uploaded to your Files directory? Are they "normal HTML files"?

Hi Marija,

Till now, noticed these problems:

1. There is no acceptable format for date question. E.i. 23/08/2007 is wrong.

What is the date format for serbian? is it day/month/year as in English, day-month-year as in French or month/day/year as in US English?

2. It is a little bit of pointless make multichoice questions (one answer or more) required and give just one possible answer because in that way we force responders to choose it. It should be prevent I think.

Sorry, I do not understand this. Which multichoice questions do you mean: radio buttons or check boxes or dropdown box? Can you give a concrete example?

3. If there is any section text "question" numbers do not match.

Thanks for reporting this bug, I have now fixed it (but you'll have to wait a few days before it's available).

4. Missing course link for index page in navigation line (breadcrumb), just text.

Sorry, I do not see this problem. Can you attach a screen shot showing exactly what happens?

All the best,

Joseph

Hi Marija,
Thanks for the serbian (latin) translation of the questionnaire strings. I wanted to install the Serbian (latin) language package on my moodle 1.8 in order to install your questionaire module translation, but I do not know which one to choose in the language pack list, is it Slovencina (sk) or Slovenscina (sl) or something else?
Joseph
PS.- I will answer your other questions when I have managed to install the correct serbian (latin) pack.

I have one.
