How do these tests work?
Whithin a form, there may be any number of sets of radio buttons. They are called a set of radio buttons because they behave like a set of old fashioned mechanical car radio tunning buttons. When one button is pressed, al the others are automaticly released.
Click on the one correct choice.
Given four choices, a), b), c) and d). Then a) is the first choice or item and b) is the second choice or item.
Each question is written as a form. It comes complete with hidden fields containing the correct answer and the most recently choosen answer. The form also contains a question try counter and a field used to display the strings "Right" and "Wrong".
There are three simple Netscape Navigator JavaScript function included with the forms. These functions process radio button clicks, check to see if the answer choosen is correct and reset the form data.
Go back to the test page and choose View Source from the menu bar. The source is quite simple.
