Homework 5

Task

Create a JavaScript program that can process a quiz made with simple radio buttons. Code above can serve as basis. However, you should change the two questions and add at least a third one. In other words:

• You must change something in the HTML forms code. Make sure that each group of radio buttons has a different name. E.g. when you add a question, use name="question3"
• You must change something in the JavaScript Provide feedback section. I.e. change the score values and the feedback messages.

Note: CS students familiar with HTML forms and JavaScript can use other HTML forms.

Tips

• Validate your HTML code
• Make sure to open the error console (in Firefox: Tools-> error console) !!

Evaluation criteria

• Ergonomics (does the quiz "make sense")
• HTML and CSS code (is it valid)
• Style and presentation
• JavaScript (is your code running, does it compute ok)

Due

• Before Wednesday week 8 class

Submission

• Submit the file to the world classroom
