Question

Online Test/XML

Hi - I'm building an online, multi-lingual test that pulls questions, answers, and feedback from an XML document. The order of the questions is randomized.

I need to be able to allow users to exit the test midstream then, once they return, have the option of finishing the remaining questions. For example, if you finish 4 questions and quit, when you return there are 6 more that are again randomized.

I don't want to use shared objects for this. Any suggestions? I'm thinking I need to create an XML object that's the remaining items from the first random array, write it to a doc on the server, then re-route the test application to use the new XML when they return ...?

Any suggestions or unique approaches are much appreciated.

I didn't. If a cookie is an optin I'd go for lso, but I'd do he xml stuff as suggested. Sound good to me, you could even handle all the internals on the xml - why not?

Ok, thanks for the idea. Cookies. I'll mull that over.

While I'm busy with that, anybody with a serious response is welcome to see the .as file for the quiz ...?
