Javascript Quiz

[tbfrancis]

I am creating a quiz that has 20 questions. For each question I have 5 option buttons. A user chooses an option for each question and the option will be weighted from 5 to 1. The webpage is has an .asp extension (not sure if this is what is causing me a problem).

I have put an input box at the bottom of the page and I would like the total to be calculated everytime and option is clicked on.

the function I am using is this (I have put this at the top of the page):

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function CalculateTotals(){
    f=document.MoneyLaundering
 
    if (f.Q1=true)  
    {
    var total1=5
    }
    else if (f.Q2=true) 
    {
    var total1=4
    }
 
    f.grandtotal.value =parseInt(total1)
                +parseInt(total2);}
 
 
 
//-->
</Scipt>

This is the first line of the form tag:

<form id="MoneyLaundering" method="post" action="listening_exam.asp">

An this is an example line for the option buttons:

<input type="radio" id="Q1" value="5" onClick="CalculateTotals()"/>

For each of the questions I have changed the id (so all question 1 option buttons are named "Q1", buttons in question 2 are named "Q2" etc).

At the moment, I cannot even select a button on the web page (only Q1 option buttons have the onClick bit in as I'm just testing at the moment, so I don't see any reason why the other buttons should not be).

i have only put two of the buttons into the function for testing purposes. i would be grateful if anyone can help me with my problem ( I am totally new to javascript but know a bit of VBA and ASP!!)

thanks in advance

Welcome to TSDN!

To access Q1, use

document.getElementById("Q1");

Then loop through and check which one is checked.

Thanks for the reply. mabe I should have said i'm REALLY new to javascript!!! Does anyone know of any tutorials that have something similar that I could use?? The syntax of javascript is a bit alien to me and unfortuantely I don't have much time to devote to this!!

Thanks again for the reply though.
