[Bodington-developers] RE: Questionnaire tool

[Paul D. <pau...@co...>]

From a user's perspective the ordinal should be the order that questions are
sorted in.  Generally, by default, the first question is 100, second 200
etc.  However if you get to the ninth question and realise this would be
better after question 7 rather than Q8 you can number it 701 (or anything
701 to 799 would work!)  When I number something with a single digit it
appears at the top of the list, rather than lower down as you state.  Is
there some extra code in there not showing - try deleting all of the number
and re-inserting 8 (or did you want 800?)

On Internet Explorer it's possible to right-click in the summary frame, view
frame in own window and save that as a separate HTML.  Same functionality in
Firefox.

Ed Hart had an Excel macro which went into the results and pulled them all
out into a graphical format in Excel spreadsheet using a macro.  An upgrade
to the system broke this, but if anyone is interested I can hunt for the
relevant info and forward on.

Subject: [Bodington-developers] Questionnaire tool

I'm working on a tool that displays questionnaire results as html pages 
and am pulling me hair oot!

in the questionnaire_questions table there's an "ordinal" field, which 
seems to be related to the question number, i.e. ordinal=100 means 
question number 1.
However, Question 8 in the questionnaire shows as ordinal="701" and 
Question 9 shows as ordinal="8".

Is there any relation between ordinal and question number or is it pure 
chance? Or does ordinal allow for sub-questions, such as 7a, 7b etc? if 
so, why would 7a show as Question 8? or is that a human fault (I didn't 
design the questionnaire)

ta,

Alistair
