Thanks for the response.
Actually, to help clarify, the full test section is made available to the user as a php/css driven <div>. The idea is to avoid presenting one item at a time, but rather allowing the user to respond to items of his choice, exactly as he would with a 'paper and pencil' test. He can respond to them in the order he wishes, and get a 'feel' for the section contents as a whole before he begins. These are all power tests; another way of saying they are not timed.
Ironically, then, there would not be an overall form 'submit' encompassing all test items, nor would there be any concern about the client neglecting to submit the form before leaving the site.
At the cost of some repetitive code, it seems to me this solution provides 'the best of both worlds'. That was precisely what was making me a bit leery.
I haven't seen this functionality elsewhere, but that doesn't discourage me a bit.
If I wrap each item's xhtml inside a form, it should be a pretty straightforward thing to equate a $_POST to the input variable and send it on its way to the data base.
Again, my thanks for your taking the time to respond. It is much appreciated.
George
