Submit scores to e-mail using asp

Hi
I design and update the internal intranet for an insurance company and
have taught myself HTML and asp. I know enough to design feedback
forms, use java scripts and can just about submit information to a
databse but i dont know how to create a script to calculate a score of
a quiz i have created. I can submit the information via e-mail using
arial buttons to detrmin whether the answer is 'correct' or
'incorrect' but now i am wanting the script to count if the user
answers correct. Any advise?

I have never used a forum before so i hope i'm doing this right.

Thanks
Kate

Re: Submit scores to e-mail using asp

not enough information here to help you.

We don't know about your quiz or the formulas for your scoring so....

post some work to date and others may be able to assist on specific questions.

The arial buttons on the html page are set to 'Correct' or 'Incorrect'
if they select the correct answer the string says 'correct'. What i
want to do is add all the correct answers together and total at the
bottom of the mail. Here is my asp script....


<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<%OPTION EXPLICIT%>
<% Response.Buffer = true %>

<%

Dim fname, man, vq1, vq2, vq3, vq4, vq5, vq6, vq7, vq8, vq9, vq10,
strBody, objMail


fname = Request.Form("name")
man = Request.Form("manager")
vq1 = Request.Form("q1")
vq2 = Request.Form("q2")
vq3 = Request.Form("q3")
vq4 = Request.Form("q4")
vq5 = Request.Form("q5")
vq6 = Request.Form("q6")
vq7 = Request.Form("q7")
vq8 = Request.Form("q8")
vq9 = Request.Form("q9")
vq10 = Request.Form("q10")

strBody = ""
strBody = strBody & " Transitional//EN"">" & vbCrlf
strBody = strBody & "" & vbCrlf
strBody = strBody & " html; charset=iso-8859-1"" />" & vbCrlf
strBody = strBody & "" & vbCrlf
strBody = strBody & "" & vbCrlf
strBody = strBody & "" & vbCrlf
strBody = strBody & "

Re: Submit scores to e-mail using asp

Since you have the vq values collected from the form , why don't you determine if it is correct and then simply add them together ?

[Please do not toppost on usenet]
Did you affirm that you replied to something,
or that you should always quote?

Could you please tell us which,
and, if the first, what the something was?

[please always quote on usenet]
Not all usenet servers keep or have yet available the previous posting,
so Netiquette rightly demands/advises you should.

[please do not quote signatures on usenet]
Good news readers automagically skip those signatures.

Re: Submit scores to e-mail using asp

if you can't see the thread, then your problem is you need a better newsreader.

Jon, it is not about me,
but about you not adhering to perfectly sensible Usenet Netiquette rules.

As I told you, postings are only temporarily available on usenet servers
and arrive not necessarily in the right sequence, so even the best
newsreader cannot read what is not available.

So it is only polite to adhere to the Netiquette.

I is like you are saying that it is perfectly sensible for you to drive on
the wrong side of the road, because you are driving a hummer.

Okay hopefully I am using this forum correctly. I asked someone what
top posting and quote on usenet is....

So Jon paal


I got your message about 'Since you have the vq values collected from
the form , why don't you determine if it is correct and then simply
add them together ?'

This is what i don't know what to do? I have never created a script to
add things together and i don't know where to start. My work is self
taught or copied from out Web desiner at Walsall and i havent been
doing this very long. I do pick things up quite quickly. I just need
to know how to get the script to count each correct answer and then
add together to diplay a score on the e-mail. Can you help?

Many Thnaks
Kate

Kate, I've just responded to your post on
microsoft.public.inetsdk.programming.scripting.vbscript and didn't
find your post on this newsgroup. Here's my reply for completeness:

If you're going to post code/HTML it's best to give a complete working
example as much as possible and then
people will spend minimum effort trying to reproduce the problem and
will be more inclined to help. Your code was missing a submit button,
closing and tags and the usual HTML header and body
tags.

Having said all that, I hope the following code does what you want.
The key is to use an array instead of separate variables to store the
answers. Then use a For Next loop to scan the array for correct
answers and keep a running total.

My web host doesn't support CDO.Message and .HTMLBody, so you need to
modify the following code slightly for your system.
