Quiz Maker 3 Script

2. Alternate Body Script

This version of the body script also has all of the questions asked via one page and allows you to create separate answer pages for each correct answer. The answer pages will all contain a script that will return to the question page to ask the next question.

Where this version of the body script differs from the original version is that this version will display the correct answer page after every question regardless of whether the person answered correctly or not.

To use this version simply copy the script content below and put it into quizbody.js in place of the original code.

The script is linked into your page using the same code as was required by the original script so no changes to your page are required.

Now that you have installed the body script the next step is to create an array of questions and answers to display for the quiz to put in your own unique head script.
