      <problem>
          <p>
              In these problems (also called custom JavaScript problems or JS Input
              problems), you add a problem or tool that uses JavaScript in Studio.
              Studio embeds the problem in an IFrame so that your learners can
              interact with it in the LMS. You can grade your learners' work using
              JavaScript and some basic Python, and the grading is integrated into the
              edX grading system.
          </p>
          <p>
              The JS Input problem that you create must use HTML, JavaScript, and
              cascading style sheets (CSS). You can use any application creation tool,
              such as the Google Web Toolkit (GWT), to create your JS Input problem.
          </p>

          <p>
              When you add the problem, be sure to select <strong>Settings</strong>
              to specify a <strong>Display Name</strong> and other values that apply.
              Also, be sure to specify a <strong>title</strong> attribute on the <strong>jsinput</strong> tag;
              this title is used for the title attribute on the generated IFrame. Generally,
              the title attribute on the IFrame should match the title tag of the HTML hosted
              within the IFrame, which is specified by the <strong>html_file</strong> attribute.
          </p>
          <p>You can use the following example problem as a model.</p>

        The value of "answer" is the JSON string that "getGrade" returns.
