Hi!

The script below produces the following error when I execute the function calc_score().
<form action="calc_score" method="post" name="myForm">

It is part of a quiz that is supposed to calculate the users score from ten questions. When the form is submitted a new page should appear giving the user feedback on each question. i.e :-
What the question was
What they're answer was
And the correct answer if thet got it wrong

Questions and answers are stored in array's.

Any help/suggestions would be very welcome!!

Thanks!!
Kieran

if (answer<%=choice%> == '<%=answer1(choice)%>')

score = score + 1;

<B>Your answer is correct</B> <BR>

<B>The correct answer is: </B>'<%=answer1(choice)%>' <BR>

<%next%>

</body>
</html>
}

Your server is set up not to allow POST requests to the page calc_score. You will need to change your server setup/contact your ISP to enable this, or use the GET request method instead.

Thanks for replying Adam!!

I am running the script through Microsoft's PWS, is it possible to enable POST requests and if so how??

Cheers,
