Excellent, you're right, that's a much better solution.

I just changed requestURL.jsp and welcome.jsp, but I didn't see a progress.jsp file in lams-learning.war. There's a progressBroken.jsp, but that doesn't appear to need the change. I'll give what I have now a shot though, and I'll let you know how it works out. Thanks yet again!

We think we have it fixed for the next release (as of last night), but we haven't tested it fully yet. We will be testing it next week and if it is all working then we'll let you know.

If you want to see what we've done and can read source code difference reports, have a look at
http://lamscvs.melcoe.mq.edu.au/fisheye/changelog/lams/lams_learning?cs=MAIN:asukkar:20080424010733

As I said, it hasn't been through my "do weird and wonderful things that will break stuff" testing, so there may be more changes to come.

Keith,

I've tested Anthony's changes yesterday (to fix the javascript error), so you should be right to copy them into your server.

Ok, so with all your help, our integration seems to be working quite nicely. However, we just encountered a cross-browser issue where the lesson hangs on the 'Next task is loading' message in Internet Explorer. I've been using my own fix for that one Javascript issue that we addressed, so I don't know if my fix broke it in IE or if it was already broken. Do you know if everything was completely functional in IE before?

LAMS itself should have been working in IE. We consider IE one of our supportd browsers, so we do test it regularly in IE. I test it occasionally in IE7 and haven't encountered any issues.

Firefox is probably the best tested (and tuned for) browser, as that is what most of the development team use day to day but some of our other staff use IE regularly so I'm sure they would tell us in a hurry if the "next" in IE was broken.

But (and it is a big but) we don't run with our windows inserted in another frame, so it may be something to do with IE and how it handles frames. Did you have a look at the changes Anthony made for 2.1 to see if they would work any better?

It could also be something to do with the settings in IE - occasionally I get tripped up when I've turned on some security setting in IE and something that seems completely unrelated to me stops working.
