** Using WeBWorK **

If you look at it, it looks fine. But what is missing is the set number. Instead, it says that the set number is "setNumber". I assume that this variable is being omitted somewhere in the perl script, but I'm not sure which script to look at.

(Not a major problem, but it is a bit annoying.)

thanks! Blake

Hi Blake,

Are you sure you do not have a set called "setNumber"? What version of WeBWorK are you using? Here is an example form WeBWorK 1.9 that works OK.

Yes, I have tried it several times and each time I get "setNumber" where I am expecting "set6" (for example).  Somehow I'm thinking that the variable is not being set where it should be or something.  In fact, if I view source on the feedback form, I can see:

<input type="hidden" name="setnum" value="setNumber" /><input type="hidden" name="probNum" value="1" />

which tells me that some of the variables are getting set correctly and others are not.

We are using webwork v1.8.

Here is the email I just received (and I sent it from feedback from set6):

Hi Blake,

OK, now I remember.  This was a bug in WW 1.8.  It was fixed in CVS version 1.9 of  HTMLglue.pl  on Mon Jan 13 18:24:50 2003 UTC.  The current CVS version is 1.14.

If you want to fix it yourself, repace line 97 of .../webwork/system/scripts/HTMLglue.pl

  $cgi->hidden(-name=>'setnum', -value=>"setNumber"),

by

  $cgi->hidden(-name=>'setnum', -value=>"$setNumber"),

I.e.  add a $ to make $setNumber a variable.
