building a web based quiz

[geekgirl]

I have been asked to build a web site for assessors which includes a web based quiz. I haven't done one of these before.

They haven't said yet whether they want it to be true/false, multiple choice or a mixture of styles yet.

Just wondered if anyone has done this before and has any tips they could give me.

Cheers.

It really depends on what methods of coding you know. You can do a basic poll in javascript or you could get more advanced with the inclusion of some php. I think you can also get polls from people online for free.

I haven't been here for a while, so this reply may be too late for you, but I've got a quiz on my website. It's a very basic free script as I'm only capable of adapting simple stuff, but it does the biz. You can see it at www.catsup.co.uk/quiz.htm (There's a link through to the website where I found it underneath the quiz.)

There's loads of more sophisticated free scripts if you look around, I found dozens when I was searching just by typing "Free quiz scripts" into google.

Very cool!

I like this page: http://www.catsup.co.uk/jigsaw.htm

Although in Firefox 0.8 I see this line at the top: " var SymTmpWinOpen = window.open; window.open = SymWinOpen; ; window.open = SymTmpWinOpen;"

Thank you!

Aaack! I don't have Firefox 0.8, so I don't see any script on the page. I haven't got a clue as to how I can get rid of it.

Oh, I don't get that in Mozilla Firefox. I do get a warning window:

Thank you for that little scripty thing. It looks perfect for their needs.
I have a few months before I have to do it, I will bookmark your page as a ref.

Thanks again.

Happy to help.
