multiple choice cross browser quiz

I need a simple quiz with feedback

[yorkie]

I've tried a couple of java based quizzes but although I can get them working on IE and Firefox I'm having problems even displaying them on Mac browsers like Safari and Mac IE - does anyone have a simple solution, for an educational multiple choice quiz for schools?

We use separate pages for questions and answers. The quiz pages are generated offline by software from a list of questions/answers and uploaded weekly.

Any use to you?

I cant post a URL, but you can visit through my profile and sticky me if you want the program to make your own.

Thanks for your answer is sound like a good solution, problem is we need a client side java script if possible?

You may have already thought about this, but what about Flash...?

Earlier this year I built an interactive quiz for a site, it delivers a score. Multi choice quizzes are fairly straight forward using flash.

SWF support is probably one of the most cross browser compatible methods available..

Thanks for the suggestion, it is one of the options I'm concidering, but for accessability reasons the client would rather I use html and java but if there is no solution to the mac browser problem, I think flash is the best alternative.

Researching and writing a simple quiz is a good way to start learning a scripting language like PHP.

If you just want a ready-made one, the scripting sites have several to choose from.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have to produce a client side solution.

Hi Yorkie

There are Accessibility options in flash, I have not tested this in screen reader software, but published in flash player6 and above you can add accessibilty options to objects, you can also of course make the text selectable

Depends on the audience and what/who your client wants it accessible for..

I use Dreamweaver and use the Coursebuilder extension (Free from the Macromedia Exchange). It generates Javascript pages and you don't have to worry about users having Java turned off. I have also used Flash which has quiz templates and very easy to use. Another good product is Hot Potatoes (http://web.uvic.ca/hrd/halfbaked/).
Hope this helps.

Thanks Catkim, the macromedia extention will do the trick, its a bit basic and it pops up the response in a java message window but some of the BBC quizzes have the answers in a message window - if its good enough for them.... cheers mate
