Hi, -- Above all, the idea is nice. :-) -- I suggest you add a line such as: # 0 "web form input" at the beginning of the web form data, so that the error messages of the compiler are relevant to the submitted code. I personally added such a line myself in the textarea but it's not quite effective when I forget it. :-) -- There are nasty bugs, especially with "Learn the ropes!" where there is no feedback at all when a code which compiles well is submitted; should it be with let main x = "plop" or with a code that is supposedly correct. However, some (wrong) code that computes too much died, which is rather a good thing. But as there exist some people who scored, it's even more annoying. :-( * Was tested with Safari 5.1 and Firefox 5.0.1 / OS X Lion, though I don't think it has anything to do with the browser. Maybe the problem implementation?
