4 Discussion

JF 15 Apr 2013: We appreciate the idea and schedule it for 4.4, even if we do not know how a technical solution to prevent spell checking looks like. Furthermore we think that a settings is not needed. ILIAS should always try to prevent these features for tests.

NE 2 Sep 2013: Due to missing resources and unconfirmed funding we would like to postpone the implementation of the feature to 4.5.

BH 29 Nov 2013: We do not know any technical solution to avoid browser side spell checking except a html attribute that is involved with HTML 5 so we can not guarantee an avoided spell checking with browsers not supporting HTML 5.

5 Implementation

NA 25 Apr 2014: Implemented. We applied the following HTML attributes for the question types below.

6 Test Cases

1. Create a test containing the question types mentioned above
2. Start the test
3. For each question page, check whether or not the browser autocomplete/spell checking is suppressed.
4. Technically: For each question page, check the HTML source code and verfiy whether or not the HTML attributes are applied to the text fields.
