beginner...please help

[krismisz]

Hi! I was wondering if it was possible to do the following using a combo of CGI and Javascript. I would like to have a "questionairre" on my site that will tell you which category you fit into. As in, if you earn a score between 9-15 points, you're type A. If you earn between 16-22 points, you're type B...so on and so forth. Each type will send you to a different page. Is there a way to do this easily? Do I need to use CGI as a place to send the info from the form?

Please keep in mind that I am a beginner, as in I hardly know anything about CGI or Javascript. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Relatively speaking that's a very simple thing to do. But you wouldn't really need to use javascript. In fact it could all be written into one cgi file...including the form.

Someone who has very little knowledge of creating cgi scripts probably would not find this to be easy though...

But, it would only take a perl novice to code something like this on a basic level.

I can make forms, but I don't know how to get it to do what I want it to do. Could you help me to build a cgi file for it? I would greatly appreciate any help!

Thanks!

I wish I had the time, but I don't.
I can offer you tips and such.
I suggest you check out cgi-resources.com as there's a good chance you'll find a script already made that does what you want. And if nothing else, there may be something close to it, that you could modify. As a beginner it's a good idea to try editing already made scripts as opposed to trying to build them from scratch. You'll get a better understanding of the syntax that way.

Thanks so much for all of your help!
