I need a push in the back for a project

hadomo

Hello people,

I'm starting on a project and I need some feedback on how to handle it best.

The idea is of having a page that will show different questions to the user. But, not all questions are to appear at once. At first question 1 needs to be shown, with a YES/NO combobox next to it. Depending on the choice, question 2 will appear (so there are 2 different possible questions for level 2). Question 3 will appear depending on the YES/NO choice of question 2, etc. That way it has to continue until level X (has yet to be defined).

How would you suggest to do this? I want to do it without frames if possible, appear all in the same page, and it must be easy to modify.

Thanks in advance!

Perhaps a database, 2 tables with

QuestionNumber | QuestionText

and child table with

QuestionNumber | Response | Nextquestion

1 | Y | 2
1 | N | 3

Well there are different approaches that you can take on this problem.

PHP: It will not be a one page do it all page. PHP proccess the data only when it is sent to the server. Of course you can make each successive page includes all the previous question page so it looks like there is only one page.

Javascript: Since it is client side, it can do exactly what you want. You can use javascript to modify html form contents on the fly, thus creating the dynamic effects that you are looking for. However, JS codes are not too friendly when it comes to debug. Also, not all of JS features are supported by all browsers.
