Thanks Ernie.

So I paste something along the lines of the following:
IFRAME SRC="hotpot.html" WIDTH=450 HEIGHT=500
/IFRAME

into the HTML noticeboard (I had to remove a bit of the code to get it to post).

I am currently running lams on my local PC (am awaiting the release of moodle 1.6 before trying it on a remote site). In this case, where should I locate the "hotpot.html" file on my computer? I had a look around the "LAMS" folder but couldn't find any obvious candidates (not that were obvious to me anyway!).

Best regards,

James Phillips

If you're using LAMS on your own desktop, just put the file in this directory:

C:\lams\jboss\server\default\deploy\upload.war\

where 'C:\lams' is where you installed LAMS.  Once the file is there you can access it via the URL http://localhost:8080/upload/hotpot.html, and the IFRAME stuff would look like

<IFRAME SRC="http://localhost:8080/upload/hotpot.html" WIDTH=450 HEIGHT=500>
</IFRAME>

This thread http://www.lamscommunity.org/dotlrn/clubs/educationalcommunity/gettingstarted/forums/message-view?message%5fid=90685 also talks about how to upload files to the LAMS server using Share Resources, useful if you were using LAMS on a remote server.

Thanks for that very detailed reply. I tried it with a Japanese to English translation exercise made in hotpot and it worked like a dream. Excellent.

Best regards,
