Students forget to submit after upload

[Víctor López Juan]

Apparently, students still forget to press submit after uploading files for a submission; despite the instructions to the left of the submission form.

I would suggest, for example, placing a small, yellow warning under the file list that will become visible once the user uploads a file (along the lines of "Your files will not be graded until you submit them.").

We could also send e-mail reminders shortly before the deadline.

What about one of those javascript pop-up that show up when you leave a page and you haven't saved your edits?

Show a confirmation dialog when uploaded files are not submitted (fix #96)

As a fix to issue #96, we show a confirmation dialog when the students upload files to a lab but then leaves the page without submitting.

To avoid making it too annoying, the confirmation is not shown if the file were submitted before. So you would get the following scenario:

• load lab
• upload file
• leave lab
• confirmation dialog (say yes)
• load lab again (uploaded file still there)
• leave lab
• no confirmation here

Note that there are no tests for this because I still haven't figured out an easy way to upload files in fire using selenium (blame the fancy javascript-ish upload widget...)
