Hi Jason,

This is how I do it (Moodle 1.6.3).

1. Student (John) uploads their assignment as Word file, e.g. Johnsassignment01.doc.
2. Teacher downloads Johnsassignment01.doc to his computer and writes comments in Word, using the Revision mode.
3. Teacher uploads new version, renamed e.g. Johnsassignment02.doc to his Course Files in a folder called e.g. CorrectedAssignments.
4. Teacher goes to Assignments / View x submitted assignments and in the Status column, clicks on either Grade or Update for John.
5. Teacher selects a suitable grade from the drop-down list and, in the HTML editor, types something like: "Click here to download your corrected assignment".
6. Teacher selects the words Click here and clicks on the Insert Web Link button in the HTML editor Toolbar and navigates to the Course Files / CorrectedAssignments / and selects the Johnsassignment02.doc file.
7. Teacher clicks the Save changes button.

Now, next time John views his assignment he will be able to click on the provided link in the teacher's comments and download the Johnsassignment02.doc, his corrected assignement.

Which theme are you using? standard? formal white?
For me, with Moodle 1.8beta + formal white theme + Firefox 2.0 on Windows, there is no display problem at all. What is the problem anyway? You have the Add category table pushed to the left?

Bonjour,

Je ne vois toujours pas l'intérêt qu'il y a à faire du SCORM, IMS, etc. dans Moodle. Je ne demande qu'à être convaincu, mais il faudra de sérieux arguments et des exemples très concrets pour me faire changer d'avis.

Hi Bente,

1- > "setting both width:100% and min-width works like setting only a width value". I suppose you mean : "setting both width:100% and max-width works like setting only a width value." I can assure you that using width:100% together with max-width works in the contexts you have described so far; FireFox, assignment module and forum module. I said I cannot guarantee that it will work in other contexts.

2- I do not understand the meaning of the attached screenshot. This is another part of Moodle, it looks like the list of courses on the front page of your site. Do you mean that the max-width: 600px; is not working correctly there?

3- "I have to get rid of the width="70%" from the assignment table. " ... No, you have not understood my point. For max-width to work, the .generalbox table must have a width parameter set (it can be any value but it must be a %). The reason why max-width works for the .generalbox table in the #mod-forum-view module is that it has a hard-coded width="70%" whereas max-width does not work for the .generalbox table in the #mod-assignment-view module because it does not have any xx% width parameter!

Anyway, if you are ready to hack your moodle's core files (moodle 1.6.4), go to file /mod/assignment/lib.php around line 160, and replace:

function view_intro() {
print_simple_box_start('center', '', '', '', 'generalbox', 'intro');

with

function view_intro() {
print_simple_box_start('center', '100%', '', '', 'generalbox', 'intro');

(or 70% if you prefer) and then the CSS max-width will work. But this means that maybe you would have to do the same (add the 100% or 70% value) to other modules... It may be risky.
