Hi,
I wonder if anyone could help me. I am developing an online quiz. I have a quiz page which dynamically displays a question and 4 possible answers; this data comes from a table named QuestionTable.
On the same page is an insert form, which inserts ticky boxes containing the choice of the person taking the quiz, ie if they think answer 'a' is correct then they tick the box to the right of the answer and then submit their choice. THis inserts their choice into another table called AnswerTable.
At the moment the questions are displayed a question to a page with a submit button and navigation between each record/page.
What I would like is to ditch the navigation and have the user answer the question by ticking a box and then using the submit button to insert it into the answer table.
Then, instead of navigating to the next record, I would like to have the same quiz page reappearing with the NEXT question/record in the recordset.
OR go to a confirmation page with a link back to the quiz page, which would be displaying the next question.
Ultradev must have written a record counter onto the page, but I can't find it.
In a nutshell I want to increment the record count, on insertion, to show the next question.
Can anyone help.
Thank you for reading this.
Regards
Marta

 
Try >Insert>Live Object>Recordset Navigation Bar and >Insert>Live Object>Recordset Navigation Status. I'm a little confused about exactly what you're trying to do, but why not put the questions themselves into a database, bind it to the page as dynamic text, and >poof< your name is George. Scott Neth
