scrollbar in essay response box

[gen84]

Hi there,

I was wondering if it's possible to add a scrollbar into the essay response box? i'm asking students to write down a narrative of a particular life experience, and have started the response box further down the screen (using t200) to make room for the instructions (they need to refer to these to complete the task). how can i add a scroll bar to the essay response box to make reviewing their work easier?

cheers

Hm - Unfortunately, I don't quite think this is possible using the default essay item type. You may be able to implement a custom item with a field similar to the essay item-type; however the extra work may not be worth the small improvement you get from it. For more information on custom items, see the following link:

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or if I can help in any way.
