Hi there,

i wonder if you have one or two examples of hot potatoes in action that we might be able to take a look at?
There's a set of sample exercises from the tutorial for the programs here:

These include multiple-choice, short-answer, gapfill, matching, crosswords and jumbled sentences, and there's a fair amount of interactivity in terms of showing feedback on user input, offering hints, scoring and so on. Another of our apps, Quandary, produces action mazes (branching decision trees) in a similar format:

thanks, martin.
incidentally, the problems i was complaining about several posts back in terms of having to use IE in my current side-work have been fixed with mozilla 1.7. this had to do with NT-server-based login. mozilla 1.7 has apparently resolved these issues, and i can now log in successfully using mozilla and firefox or camino (both of which rely on mozilla 1.7), as well as IE. i don't know about the recent safari, since i'm still on X 10.2, not panther. my colleague found it interesting, as well. just a reminder that some of this is browser and some is platform . . .
cheers,
