Navigating Pages and passing values

[valhalen]

hi,

I am creating a quiz application in Javascript where each page has one question. I would like to calculate the score and time taken to answer all questions at the very end - how do I achieve this? Can I pass values (like score for each question and time taken to answer that question) to the next page so that I can total it at the very end?

OS: Windows

thank you.

hi ...

of course you can :) some of the possibilities:

1. use cookies
2. pass the variables with the url as a querystring
3. use a frameset with a hidden frame and load your current pages in a visible one

kind regards

thanks,

I was trying to pass them via the URL but I can only pass static values
ex: <input type="button" name="Button1" value="Go to 2nd Page" onclick="locati on.href='2ndpag e.html?attr1=20 &attr2=60'" disabled="disab led">

whereas I want to pass variables whose values are not predetermined, I have tried something like below but it doesnt work

<input type="button" name="Button1" value="Go to 2nd Page" onclick="locati on.href='2ndpag e.html?attr1="+ attrval_1+"&att r2="+attrval_2+ "'" disabled="disab led">

try the following:

[CODE=javascript]// function that sets the location
function set_location(va l1, val2) {
window.location .href = '2ndpage.html?a ttr1=' + val1 + '&attr2=' + val2;
}
[/CODE]
in your onclick call the function:

[HTML]onclick="set_lo cation(attrval_ 1, attrval_2);"
[/HTML]
kind regards

You might want to pass the answers and times through a hidden form field. This would avoid any length restriction on the query string if your quiz is of any size.

thanks guys

Fred - I will be sending a small set of values, so I am not worried about maxing out the length, but thx anyways.
