Javascript for an online quiz...

Question

Techie08 0 Junior Poster in Training

15 Years Ago

I'm trying to build a quiz that takes the answers given and when you hit submit, it totals the number of items in each category and sends you to a specified page...

It's basically perfect except one thing... it doesnt take you to a page when the totals are added up, it just says "Error on page" at the bottom of the screen.

Here's the script:

<p><span style="font-size: small;">Your project needs to get started, but where do you start? Should you use waterjet or laser cutting? What if your material is thick? Take the quiz below and find out what cutting method is best for completing your project!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Cutting Method Assessment is the perfect tool to help you decide which path to take&nbsp;when you&nbsp;start manufacturing your parts.</span></p>

You need to put the name of the form so change the form tag to include name="quiz" like this:

<form name="quiz" action="javascript:finish();" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method="get">

You just replace the form tag that u have.
Here is the entire code i used, i have only tested it in firefox

404 normally means that a page doesnt exist.
i think if u remove this part of the code then it should work:
towards the end of the javascript code locate this line:

location = results[j[0]]+ext;

replace that line with this one:

location = results[j[0]];

also ensure that the names in the array are the same as where u want them to go for example i can see in the code that you have to change the name in the array(var results), where u see "Waterjet Cutting" to "waterjet-cutting"

Please use the code tags when inserting code, just makes it look neater.

Also i see you have removed some stuff in the javascript code, use this code:

<p><span style="font-size: small;">Your project needs to get started, but where do you start? Should you use waterjet or laser cutting? What if your material is thick? Take the quiz below and find out what cutting method is best for completing your project!</span></p>

You need to put the name of the form so change the form tag to include name="quiz" like this:
<form name="quiz" action="javascript:finish();" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method="get">

Do i put this at the end, or the beginning? Thanks!!

Techie08 0 Junior Poster in Training · Answer 2 · 2009-09-01T19:14:40+00:00

Crap. Well i tried both but neither worked at the beginning or the end :(

Techie08 0 Junior Poster in Training · Answer 3 · 2009-09-01T19:42:26+00:00

Okay, i replaced it with what you had there. But it takes me to my 404 page when you click 'Finish', the page extensions should be:
http://www.fedtech.com/waterjet-cutting
http://www.fedtech.com/laser-cutting
http://www.fedtech.com/water-only

for the results landing pages..

but you got me much closer to where i need to be! thanks!

Techie08 0 Junior Poster in Training · Answer 4 · 2009-09-01T20:10:38+00:00

Alright. So i made those adjustments... here is the final script but it's still not going to those pages? Maybe i goofed.

<h1>Cutting Method Assessment</h1>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Your project needs to get started, but where do you start? Should you use waterjet or laser cutting? What if your material is thick? Take the quiz below and find out what cutting method is best for completing your project!</span></p>

I used that code, you can see it on the page:
www.fedtech.com/cutting-quiz

but it still doesn't redirect.. its beyond me as to why!

Thirusha 20 Posting Whiz · Answer 6 · 2009-09-02T19:19:45+00:00

Please use the code that I inserted above in the thread, u have removed extra stuff from the code, which has resulted in the javascript function not being complete.

Try and use the firefox browser with the firebug add-on, this helps greatly when working with javascript, it will tell u exactly what the error is.

Techie08 0 Junior Poster in Training · Answer 7 · 2009-09-08T22:12:57+00:00

I've copied and pasted the exact code, but firefox isn't giving me much to go off of with where i'm going wrong

Thirusha 20 Posting Whiz · Answer 8 · 2009-09-09T12:52:36+00:00

So i took the quiz located on the link that u provided in an earlier post, and i was able to be redirected to the correct page, no error, i had chosen all the first options, which took me to the laser cutting page.

Is a certain option giving u a problem?

Why unnecessarily you are putting so much of effort, when you can easily do such stuffs with DOM manipulation. If you strictly want to rediect to a page and display the result there then use cookies.
Otherwise you can display the score on the same page with DOM manipulation. Check this link to know more. Dynamic Quiz Using JavaScript
