Question widgets should implement the following functions in addition to the functions discussed in this topic.
This method is called when the user clicks Submit on the question slide. The method

function setWidgetQuestionState( val:String)

getWidgetQuestionState
is called with the same string: "<var1>10</var1><var2>Captivate</var2>"
