Submitting Assignments In Blackboard With Linux
It seems to be an off and on thing, but in some Blackboard installations (like at UNO) there is a piece of JavaScript that makes it impossible to submit assignment files from Linux. I had some difficulty finding a fix online, so I thought I'd document it here.
Just select your file as usual, and then escape the slashes, like so:
/home/jmhobbs/AssignmentOne.zipbecomes
\/home\/jmhobbs\/AssignmentOne.zip
It's pretty stupid coding, but that's life. My source for this fix is the thread found here.
