How to make an online quiz email results?

  • May 11, 2017

Hello,

I have created an online quiz using some very basic html code and a basic script to make it work. The quiz will not be online but rather used internally for training. I was wondering if anyone could offer some pointers for how I can make the results submittable via email? I have pasted an example of my code below. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong or offer a solution for me to get it to work?

    I thought so. It was working but at some point during me finishing the Q and A, it stopped working. I've been trying to back track to see if I made any changes that would affect it but I don't see anything.

    Wait...was testing in Safari. Just tried it on Fox and Chrome and it works. That may be the difference!

    Safari still doesn't support the html5 required attribute for some reason.

    It can be fixed though. Do a quick search for "html5 form validation fallback safari" and you'll be presented with a few different ways to get it working.

    Do the results absolutely have to be sent by email? 

    I put together an interactive quiz that uses Bootstrap & jQuery.  This works for True/False or multiple choice.  At quiz completion, users are provided with feedback -- % answered correctly and the questions missed. You can see a live demo below.

    Interactive Exam Multiple Choice

    Note this is all done with client-side scripting so it's not super secure.  Anyone with decent coding skills can find the answers if they dig deep enough.

    Nancy,

    Is there a way for the results to be posted or sent to the Exam admin? I need to somehow record the results in employee training files. Maybe even a way to print the results once the user is finished?

    You could go ahead and use mailto function in the form action.

    Since it's being used internally (I assume it will also be hosted internally and not available online for the general public), there's no worry about spam harvesting of the email address or form security. You would just need to make sure the computer used for testing has an email client installed (like Outlook or Apple Mail).

    Get your form questions inside your form tagset and it should work fine.

    For starters, your questions need to be inside the <form> tag.  As it stands now they are in <blockquotes> with no relationship to the <form>.

    Mailto: will not work for this.

    The results will need to be posted to a database on the internal server and written into an email with a form processing script written in the language supported by your server (PHP, ASP.NET, Perl).   I don't know how skilled you are with forms and processing data with databases & scripts but this is not exactly a beginner's project.

    Thanks Nancy!

    No, I'm not very skilled at coding. I just didn't want to pay for any of the quiz builders out there since I figured I could build it in DW. I have everything working pretty well with 15 of 80 questions built, but I just couldn't figure out how to get the results. I will be using this for internal training and I needed a way to get the results and from whom.
