Problem: Need a working javascript to send users to a url based on their score.

Background: I am designing a course using Dreamweaver for the Rules of the Road (Maritime). I am utilizing the CourseBuilder Exntension, which has been helpful thus far, but now I need human interaction and need help. I have a twenty question test, each question on a different page, setup in frames, where the bottom frame keeps track of the users score. After the user submits their answer to the 20th question, the user is sent to a results page and I am trying to put a javascript in there that will send the student to a different page if his score is less than an 80. Here is the code that I did myself, which is not working.

<script language="JavaScript">
if ((top.cmiresults.total)>=80) then {window.content='testa-results.htm'} else {window.content='testa-retest.htm'};
</script>

My frames are named content (99%) and results (1%)

Also, is it possible to add a script to the 20th question button that will do the same function on that page? I have two other scripts which add the number correct and to the total score already for that button.

Any help?

I think you want this:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (top.cmiresults.total>=80){
content.location = 'testa-results.htm'
} else {
content.location = 'testa-retest.htm'
}
</script>

P.S. Be aware that your pages should be accessible with Javascript disabled, assuming this is for use by the general public.

In that case, you'll need to post the rest of your code (a link or the full source here) so I can see the error.

I'm guessing at the effects of the other code there (that's an awful lot of JS), but I think you might be able use this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function checkTotal(){
if (top.cmiresults.total>=80){
location = 'testa-results.htm'
} else {
location = 'testa-retest.htm'
}
}
</script>
...
<body onLoad="MM_initInteractions();checkTotal()">

P.S. The language attribute of <script> is now deprecated - you should use type instead.
