Most of what I know about web design was learnt on the fly (i.e. by reading other people's codes and comparing) so I'm afraid I don't have an in depth knowledge of how everything works yet.

This being the case, I'm currently working on an online course for my university. In this particular unit I would like to let students listen to a linked sound file, transcribe what they hear and be able to click on something that will reveal the correct transcription in the same window, next to or just under the link.

I am leaning toward using the tag "showdiv" but I'm not quite sure how to use it. Considering that there are 100 sound files (and thus 100 answers that need to be revealed) is this the best way to go about doing this? I welcome further suggestions too!

I dont know exactly what "showdiv" has to do with java but I am thinking that to do what you want to do, you will need to study some server side programming or perhaps create an applet.

If you are just planning to use html then it will be easy for people to cheat etc.

If your questions are relating to html then ask in that forum.

All the best :)
