I have recently updated to Hot Potatoes 7 on a Mac using Parallels Desktop.
So far its working very well, but am having a problem with JCloze Drag the Words authored by Agnès Simonet.
When doing the quizzes on laptops and desktops, it works 100% for students. 
However, users of iPads and iPhones cannot drag the words into position as in the demos e.g.
I have an example at this link:
Am I neglecting to do something when creating the quiz?
I would appreciate it if anybody could help me.

Hi Michael,

Sorry for the late answer.
Is the demo working on iPads or iPhones? On my phone with Android v10
it's perfect.
However your exercise is not working on my phone, though it works on my PC.
I think it's because there're parts using Virtual Pagination in your htm
(line 2333 and 2344) but virtualpaginate.js is not in your folder.
I have removed the line concerning Virtual Pagination in your htm and
it's now working on my phone:
http://hpaddons.free.fr/tests/JCdw_michael/test1.htm
So it was certainly the cause of the problem.

NB : it seems that none of the js files (player4.js, DragDropTouch.js ,
virtualpaginate.js) are present in your exercise folder. You don't need
them for this exercise but it would be a good thing to systematically
add them to prevent problems when using sounds or Virtual Pagination.
See the tutorial.

I hope it helps.
Cheers,
Agnès S.

Oh I've just realized : you must have used source_JCdw_VP instead of
source_JCdw as your source.
