This group of tags implements a mechanism for getting data for students. They will usually be used by a response tag.

• textfield: Creates a large text input box. If data appears between the start and end tags, the data will appear in the textfield if the student has not yet made a submission. Additionally, it accepts two attributes: rows and cols, which control the height and width of the text area respectively. It defaults to 10 rows and 80 columns.

• textline: Creates a single line input element. It accepts one attribute size which controls the width of the textline, defaulting to 20.

Both the textfield and textline input tags support a spellcheck attribute. If present, the text the user types is spellchecked when focus leaves the input field. The value of this attribute specifies the language in which the spellcheck is performed. e.g. < textfield spellcheck='en' / > creates a text field that is spellchecked in English while < textline spellcheck='de' / > creates a text line that is spellchecked in German.
