Adam,
 
I am just typing the word "test." However, your reply did make think a bit more and I realized I didn't click the Source button and sure enough there was a <script> tag added around my text that was entered.
 
<script charset="UTF-8" src="chrome://YTAutoHD/content/YTAutoHD.js" type="application/javascript">
</script>
I removed this and I was able post an assignment.  Do you know why that might have been added by default in the Assignment Instructions?  Is there a way to prevent that?  I haven't heard of problems from my users but they might be doing a work around with a different browser.

At a guess (since nobody else has replied), this sounds like the HTML that you are using for the Assignment Instructions contains some sort of JavaScript code: AntiSamy will object to this being present. 
Does that sound likely? 
Are you cutting and pasting the text for the question form somewhere else?

Subject: [Building Sakai] Turnitin Firefox Alert script

 

Greetings,

 

I have recently deployed Turnitin for testing and the installation went smoothly.  Looks like everything is there and the Job Scheduler is doing its thing.  However I cannot create an assignment and have it use Turnitin with Firefox.  I get the message:

 

Alert: The script tag is not allowed for security reasons. This tag should not affect the display of the input. 

 

For both Post and Preview.  I am running Firefox 35.0.1.  Turnitin's website says it should work with anything newer than Firefox 15.  I can create a Turnitin assignment using Internet Explorer and Chrome.

 

Sakai 2.9.3

Debian squeeze
