When my relatives moved to Linux

I made a jolly little stack (on a Mac computer),
"Family.rev", to
test my kids' knowledge of word such as "aunt",
"uncle",
"cousin" and so on.
It is available on RevOnline: Family Words
So, took it downstairs and popped it on my Linux boxes
and . . .
dull thud!
an important part of the functionality would not work.
Card 2 features a family tree with 14 text boxes for
end-users to fill in with kinship terms
[doesn't it sound all pompous and pseudo-academic
when I use words like 'end-users' and 'kinship terms'
instead of 'kids' and 'family words'? - jargonised
nonsense really]
and by each textbox there is a 'tick' image - when
the kid clicks on it, it checks the content of the
textbox
and how many other textboxes have had text entered
correctly into them; if that total is 14 it send a 'go
next'
signal.
Worked on Mac,
Nothing doing on Linux.
Help gratefully received, Richmond Mathewson
