Re: [phpesp-general] Javascript insertions

[Sean M A. <sea...@gr...>]

The slick way to go about this of course would be to make php generate
the javascript dynamically from the choices that the admin makes for a
particular set of questions.

Keep in mind though that this could screw with the results, making them
less understandable.  If you have question 1 which is a yes/no answer,
and then have question 2 who's answers (and/or question) depend on the
answer to question 1, you create a branching of the results....

Question 1
Yes	50%
  - Question 2
      A)	10%
      B)	35%
      C)	40%
      D)	15%
No	50%
  - Question 2
      E)	5%
      F)	70%
      G)	25%

Would you present it this way?  Would you tally the total respondents
for question 2 as being the sum of the respondents for each branch of
question 2 (as I've depicted) or would it the percentages need to be
skewed such that Question 2 adds up to 100% regardless of which branch
an answer was made?


It certainly presents a challenge.  I work with a commercial knowledge
management system that uses an HTML output preprocessor, which they call
WebLingo.  It really works just like php the way it's embedded into an
HTML structure or vice versa.  Anyway, they use it to dynamically create
what could be several different javascript programs within the same HTML
file depending on how it's accessed, what's in the user's cookie, or
something along that line.
