Looking for specific forms software.

Hi y'all, I'm looking for some software to do quite a specific job. What I need to do is have a form (mostly multiple choice) running on a site, and when the user selects a specific option, on the 'results' page it comes up with some pre-written text according to the user's selection. Kinda like how the quizes work on [a popular quiz site] iirc. Also similar to how Yslow works in firefox when it grades your page.

Example:
1. User selects "no" to the question: "Do you know your footfall?"
2. User fills in rest of form
3. After user clicks submit, the results page loads with a box saying "you really should know your footfall" (for eg). If the user said yes to this question then this text wouldn't display (or would display "more info" link).
Other questions to have similar behaviour.

If anyone has any suggestions that'd be great and much appreciated! Is this something a software solution could provide (i know my html and css but not anything programm-y) or something i'd have to get designed for me by a developer? If the latter, is it a big job or a little one?

Thanks! :-)

This is a little job, but yes, for a developer. It require programming :) Nowadays it can be done with JavaScript, so users won't even need to reload the page. So find some JS programmer and you'll get whatever question reaction you need :)

I just thought I'd update this thread (yeah I'm answering my own question) as I've found something that looks as if it'll do the job. Just search for "Open source scorm e-learning platform lms" and it should come up tops (it does in Google, at least). Will still need to do some alterations, which means still getting a coder, but open source means it won't be too onerous, right?

Just thought i'd share :)
