The problem is one of line-endings in  exerquiz.sty .

After converting the ^M endings to unix \n 
so that this file is readable in terminal window programs.
There was a definition:

\def\@quiz*#1#2
{
    \begingroup  

which should be:

\def\@quiz*#1#2{%
    \begingroup

otherwise the #2 parameter picks up everything to the end of the line,
rather than just a the single {...} group, as is clearly the intention.
(Other macro-definitions may be similarly affected, with extra newlines.)

With this fixed, the premature expansion of \footnotesize  is also fixed,
and so is:

All the JavaScript now works as intended, on these and all other pages.


Hope this helps,
