Calculate radio buttons in form 1

enzobanzai · Jun 24, 2004

Hi

I am developing a page that has a form on it with 10 questions. Each
question has a 1 to 10 radio button option for the user to choose.

The forms actions posts this info to the results page which displays the
resluts using the request.Form method.

How do I add up or calculate the total results to give the user a score?

Can this be done?

Here is my page (testing). Please go ahead and try it and you will see what
I am trying to do.

http://www.ttdigital.com.au/fitz/financialTest.asp

I want to add together all the results and display this in the "score"

Thanks
Enzo

do you actually store the rate number in a db? you could just do a sum on the answers...

or just

for each element in request.form
if left(element,x) = "scoreme" then ' whatever, some naming convention to determine it's something it needs to add into the score value
MyScore = MyScore + Cint(request(element))
End If
next

response.write myscore

just looked at your source, could you add say "radio" as a prefix to the "one" "two" , so the loop will work .. OR you can just array up a list of fields to count :

tally = split("one,two,three,....",",")

for each item in tally
myscore = myscore + cint(request(tally))
next
response.write myscore

first reply requires no modification if you add a new scoring item...

second reply you will need to update the array to include the new item in counting/score

Hello DreXor

Thanks for the quick reply.

Im situated in Australia so usually I port a question on a forum then wait till the next morning to get a reply due to the time difference.

But anyway.

I am very new to this so I do not fully understand the first post but I definatley want to give it a try.

I am not storing the results in a db.

Is there any way you go show me how to get this up and running using my example and radio button names.

I dont understand "for each element in request.form" and what comes after that.

Even if you just show me an example using say the first three questions (one, two, three)

If I have to change the names of the radio button groups to eg.radioOne, radioTwo then I can.

Thanks again
Enzo

just for ease of headaches, rname all the radio name="one" etc to name="radioone" etc..

copy paste this code block into your receiving ASP page for the form, and it must be ASP in order to allow this code to run

Code:

<%
for each element in request.form
  if left(element,x) = "scoreme" then ' whatever, some naming convention to determine it's something it needs to add into the score value
    MyScore = MyScore + Cint(request(element))
  End If
next
%>
<script language="javascript">
  alert("your score was <%=myscore%>");
</script>

paste this code anywhere between <BODY> and </BODY>
preferably right after the initial body tag.

ack
correction, too quick on the submit button [cannon]

just for ease of headaches, rename all the radio name="one" etc to name="radioone" etc.. as you noted in your reply

copy paste this code block into your receiving ASP (financialTestResults.asp) page for the form

Code:

<%
myscore=0
for each element in request.form
  if left(element,5) = "radio" then 
    MyScore = MyScore + Cint(request(element))
  End If
next
%>
<script language="javascript">
  alert("your score was <%=myscore%>");
</script>

paste this code anywhere between <BODY> and </BODY>
preferably right after the initial body tag.

Hey Mate

Have updated the page (

http://www.ttdigital.com.au/fitz/financialTestResults.asp)as

described.

You can see the code and where I placed your code.

Still not adding up.

I havent renmaed the radio buttons on the prev page yet bu that should not make a difference to this working should it?

What I did want is for the score to display on the page (financialTestResults.asp) in the space next to score. Not in a pop up.

Is this possible?

Hey thanks for the help I realy appreciate it.

This is my first time on this forum.

Will come back and try to answer others questions if I can one day soon.

Enzo

DreXor · Jun 24, 2004

yeah renaming the radios did affect this page, you'll need to name them back, in the meantime let me try and figure something up for you .. if possible, can you post the code from the results page so i can have a better idea of what i'm working with.

ok replace this block of code :

Code:

<%
myscore=0
for each element in request.form
  if left(element,5) = "radio" then 
    MyScore = MyScore + Cint(request(element))
  End If
next
%>
<script language="javascript">
  alert("your score was <%=myscore%>");
</script>

with

Code:

<%
myscore=0
ScoreItems = Split("one,two,three,four,five,six,seven,eight,nine,ten",",")
for each item in ScoreItems
  MyScore = MyScore + Cint(request(item))
next
Response.Write myscore
%>
