form help

[krismisz]

Hi! So I posted a message a little while ago and I didn't get anywhere. I'm going to try again.

I wanted to have a form that would allow visitors to go to different pages based on their input information (their score, really...it's a questionnaire). I have the entire form made, I just don't know how to make it do what I want.

Do I use if statements? How do I do this? Any help with this would be great!

Thanks!

typically what you want to do will be done like this.

say you have all the data from the form and user wants to go to "New registration pages"
in a variable you have the new registration pages url
url = "new-reg.html"
now you want to redirect user to this address

say if( url!=""){
document.location.href = url;
}

this will load the registration page in the same window.

hope this helps

cheers

I don't think I explained myself correctly...sorry about that.

I have a questionaire on my site (it's not up yet, so I can't give you the address), that goes to a different page depending on their score. (ie if their score is between 9-12, they go to page "A", if it's between 13-17, they go to page "B", etc.)

Do I use "if" statements for this? I'm a beginner so, although I can make forms just fine, I'm not sure how to make it do this.

Thanks!

Dave, thanks so much! But would it be simpler to do a "mostly a's" or "mostly b's" type thing? Is this done similarly?

Is it possible to do it if there's say, 8 categories?

[krismisz]

Here's a quick outline of how the survey would go:

Question One

a. Answer A
b. Answer B
c. Answer C
d. Answer D
e. Answer E
f. Answer F
g. Answer G
h. Answer H

Is there a way to calculate which letter was chosen most often? Mostly a's, mostly b's type thing?

[krismisz]

...and then loop through the array...

Is there a website I can go to to learn more about this, or can you offer me any helpful tidbits?

And thank you so much for helping me out with this! At least now I know it's possible!
