Hello.
Would anybody be able to help me on this one. I am looking for a quiz maker (a free one, ads or no ads) that I can put on my website. An externally hosted one would be suitable that I could just put a link to. I know of alxnet.com but they only allow 10 questions in your quiz, any more and you have to pay. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

What about making one? Javascript will allow you to use one based on your site (no server side needed), or you could go all out and use SSI (PHP, CGI, ASP ....)

Just a thought

Thanks for that reply
SSI, a bit too technical for me I think. Sad
I could use javascript but I don't think I could have a "High Scores" page , or could I. Thanks

SSI isnt that scary once you play with it some, actually its quite fun (I love PHP).

I havent played with Javascript in this area, but I think you cant write to a text file using JS, but am not sure if you could read it (as in a database set up), and I doubt cookies would be much use.
SSI would be the easy way, but I guess you could always use a mailto form at the end of the quiz that sends you the results and you could manually post the results (sounds like to much hard work lol)

If you wanted results (top scores etc) I'd say go SSI (server side scripting - asp, php, perl etc), If its just a quiz with results (total percentage right, display right/wrong answers etc) go javascript.
