Assignment submission stripped out HTML file contents

Hermien.P.630

Hi,

One of our students created an HTML file to submit as part of an assignment submission. Included in the file were some style elements as well as some input elements. All of these elements were stripped out of the file, and only the text remained - both when viewed directly from the Brightspace marking interface and when downloading the file.

Is this the expected behaviour? (I can see how it might be intentional, to protect the system from potentially malicious code.)

Any information you can provide would be helpful so we can guide our students on how to submit HTML files successfully.

Best wishes,
Hermien
