Alternate Analysis Quiz

3. Comment Page Scripts

Each comment page can display whatever information that you want about the preceding question and its possible answers. The only things that must go on each comment page are a small script that needs to go into the head of each comment page and a link to call the script to pass control back to the question page.

If you are wondering why the copyright on this script and those on the following pages are earlier than for the quiz script itself it is because these scripts are identical to some of the ones used by earlier quiz scripts that I have written and you can therefore create several different types of quiz for your site and share the scripts between them.

Select the code from the text box below (there is a highlight all button beneath it to make this easier) and copy it into a file called quizans.js.

// Quiz Javascript // copyright 7th April 2005, by Stephen Chapman // permission to use this Javascript on your web page is granted // provided that all of the code in this script (including these // comments) is used without any alteration var nxt = window.location.search.substring(1); function quiz() {top.location = unescape(nxt);}

You then link this code into the head of each answer page using the following code:

The final step is to set up a link at the bottom of the answer page that will link to the next question. The code that you need looks like this:

Note that this same script and link need to be placed into each comment page. The question and comment page scripts between themselves will keep track of which question or comment page to display and how many questions have been answered in what way.

Now that we have the quiz questions and intervening comment pages done, its time to set up the Analysis page that will analyse the overall results.
