So I wanted to submit some assessment tasks but after I've filled out the submit form with all the course, description, author etc. and selected my file, I hit submit and get "<file name=""> is an empty file." when it's obviously a .docx document. Tried changing it to .doc and making it a .zip file as well...
Enlighten me please?
I use Mozilla Firefox, but I tried Google Chrome as well :S
</file>

Most likely this is happening because the file is not being sent. This will happen in some cases if you do not select a file to submit, or if you select a file to be uploaded that your browser cannot access, or for some other reason that your browser doesn't send the file.

Oh...ok? :S
I think in this case my browser might not be sending the file, but I can attach it and send through email :S
Thanks for the explanation.
