No, don't do that. The onSubmit event handler cannot go into the action
attribute in that way.

Tried putting that bit of code in, but to be honest, I don't know what 'action;
I need to specify and the javaquiz works as it is.

The WC3 make mistakes on a page using this sort of script also.

All the form does is bring up the answers using simple javascript, it all
works so I am not sure why this 'action' needs to be put in there, but have to
presume that it is importent for some reason.

The htm code I use is as follows

<form><input type="button" value="Grade Me!" name="B1" onClick="gradeit()">
<input type="button" value="Reset" name="B2"
onClick="document.myquiz.reset()"></form>

All I need to know is wereI put this 'action' and what it should do <action=
"?">

Thanks in anticipation.

<form action="onSubmit=gradeit()"><input type="submit" value="Grade Me!"
name="B1"> <input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></form>
i think, maybe not, but grade it should definitely go in the action.

Css Lover,

The "action" of a form field points the form to an action page.

If you want the processing of form data done on processing.cfm, then use <form
action="processing.cfm">. If the form should submit to itself (e.g. the
processing will be invoked upon these form variables existing in the 'form'
scope), then as Murray suggested <form action=""> will submit the form to
itself.

HTH,
Paul

HTML FORM PROBLEM SOLVED

Thanks Murray, you took a weight off my shoulders there.

How I solved it was simple, and here is the solution.

I should have stated there were two forms, one that top of the webpage
'wrapping' the multi choice quiz, that code is simple and all we need is to put
this...

<form action="" name="myquiz">

We obviously close it with a </form> at the bottom.

After the questions, you have a submit button so the java brings up a neat
page with answers and your percentage.

That form is a bit more complicated, and the correct code, verified as html
4.01 (maybe xhtml) is as follows.

<form action=""> <input type="button" value="Grade Me!" name="B1"
onClick="gradeit()"> <input type="button" value="Reset" name="B2"
onClick="document.myquiz.reset()"></form>

The actual JavaScript for that quiz is everywhere, and much used.

Thanks again mate, you are a Gentleman and a Scholar

3 days of Wc3 Hell are now at an end.

:D

Just as an aside, I was so frustrated with getting that Java quiz right, I
ended coding a neat little css based quiz in which you switch styles to see the
answers hightlighted and just add a small input button, that's xhtml 1.1
verified, and also 100% compatible with visually disabled impaired folk.

The things you do for web design!

Ah well, I can have two styles of quiz now.

It's javascript, not Java.

I'm glad that solved it for you.

==================

Thanks again, I've just spent a while correcting my spellings of JavaScript
(which I spelt as either 'java' or 'java script'.

By the way, I've now done that quiz and verified it as xhtml1.1, mostly just
closed end tags but the actual form code is different.

I suppose I should post it to close this discussion.

I'll remember to call javascript for what it actually is

I only just realised that webpage is spelt web page and website as web site.

And I've only just 'found' Dreamweavers spellchecker.

15 days to go on a trial, but I'm buying this software, without a doubt!

Cheers again.

I think you will find equal numbers of those in use....

Good luck!
