Hi,

I was wondering if someone may be able to help me please. I am creating a quiz ( 10 Questions) and I would like to track the scores from start to finish. I have created the 10 pages for each question (coursebuilder) named Question1.htm to Question10.htm. I have then created a trackingframeset .
The page Tracking-scores.htm provides the initial link to each page .
I would like each page Question1.htm to question10.htm to load in the frameset moving from one question to the next. This is where i have the problem. I open each page (open in frame ) from Tracking-scores.htm but it will not link to each of my questions (Question1.htm to question10.htm)


I hope this makes sense I have tried to outline as best as i can what i am trying to achieve. Hopefully someone may be able to help me.
Thank you :)
 
"moving from one question to the next. "
not quite sure I follow.....all you have to specify is the target of your links and they will open in any frame you want...and yes, each link has to have a target if want them to be "seemlesly daizy-chaned" in one frame....
I am guessing this is "explorer-like"
interface...
Code:
[===========MAIN FRAME============]
[--LEFT-- ][ ----- CONTENT -------]
[ Quiz1   ][......Question1.......]
[ Quiz2   ][......................]
[ Quiz2   ][ Link:Next Question > ]
[---------][----------------------]
[=================================]

where your link in Content frame and Question1.html page
would have links with target of:

<a href=&quot;Question2.htm&quot; target=&quot;CONTENT&quot;>next question </a> 

Hope it helps
All the best!

Hi, thanks for that. I'll try it.
I probably didnt explain myself very well.
I have the 10 questions created , each on a separate web page and want to track the scores. So i have an entry page to the quiz with a link to the first question.

From the entry page to the quiz i created tracking frameset - which gave me a frameset web page and a results page.
In the results page i have 3 variables to track the number of questions, total and number of correct answers.

I can link from one question to the next with no problems when i view the quiz. But when i open the frameset page and then click on File - open in frameset to view each page(question) question1.htm to question 10.htm the pages won't display.
I am using a coursebuilder interaction push button to navigate from question1 to question2.htm etc. This push button updates the total correct and the number of questions ( go to URL move to the next question) .

Hope i have explained this a bit better now. Am really in a fix with this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you once again
kind regards :)
 
I am not sure about that setup....
why are u doing &quot;But when i open the frameset page and then click on File - open in frameset to view each page&quot;
