    Hi there, i seem to be having a problem with a javascript quiz.
    I had been working on it, building it up bit by bit, and i have changed something (i dont know what) and its now not working. I think that this is something really small to be honest. Can anyone see what it is?

    if (anstwo=="rome" || anstwo=="ROME" || anstwo=="Rome")
    ( //should be {

    can you not make the code simpler using strtoupper

    if (anstwo.toUpperCase() == "ROME")
    {

    this will help you:

    Checkboxes

    Checkboxes need a slightly different approach. We already know their values, but want to know whether the user has checked them. The checked property tells us. It can have two values: true or false.
    Now we do:

    if (document.forms[0].checkbox.checked){
    user_input = document.forms[0].checkbox.name
    }

    in which checkbox is the name of the checkbox. If the checkbox is checked, we take its name (or its value) and transfer it to user_input.
    To check a checkbox, set its property checked to true:

    Cheers Louie, thats better alright .... its just the count (result++) still isn't right, which i dont understand really .... a || b || c should be if any of them are check then it increments, but that is not the case. Also for Question Six the variables are coming up as undefined, which is very strange aswell, given that Five is OK, well nearly anyway. Its a head scratcher !!

    Hi there,

    A couple of things:

    Put the var result=0; part inside the checkanswers() function, it is not getting reset to 0 each time the form is submitted, so the number of right answers goes up each time. Unless the variables are being used outside the checkanswers function, then they should all be inside the function.

    The checkboxes should really be radio boxes, unless you want people to be able to select multiple entries. At the moment, you can select "red" AND "sky" as a colour which is obviously incorrect, but the code doesn't take this into account.

    Try setting the variables to an empty string like this: var fivone = ""; - may help the undefined variables.

    Here's a start:

<script language="javascript">

  //var sixtre;

function checkanswers()
{
	var result=0;
	var ansone = document.quizform.questionone.value;
	var anstwo = document.quizform.questiontwo.value;

	if (ansone.toUpperCase() == "PARIS")

	  result++;

    Have you thought about using AJAX to automate the generation of the test
    It would allow you to create an xml file representing the questions and answers and from there, javascript can create your form and proccess it automatically.
