Hi,

just a small heads-up: I currently implementing decision-based
answering, where you can add a condition to a question, eg. only show
the question Z is the answer to question X is "Y".
I still thinking about how to hide the questions ... probably the
easiest would be to add an automatic session break before the question,
so I can just decide not to show the page ... showing a div
using javascript just won't work if the 2 related questions are on
different pages. Any suggestions and examples are welcome, but for now
it will be done using an extra page break (I still need to cover the
case where the hidden question is the only question on the screen then,
people don't like empty pages ...)

Awesome!  Are you working and committing to CVS on Sourceforge?

The capability to make dynamic surveys that respond to previous
answers already exists in UCCASS. It's free and written in PHP.
I've no connection with the software other than as a satisfied
user.

This UCCASS does indeed seems very nice as well, wish I heard about it
earlier :)
But my coding is almost done (probably Monday), so we'll see which
system is best, competition is a good thing :)

Yes, it is. :) 

I did mention UCCASS' branching capability in a
post a year or so ago, but it didn't make it to the list.

One thing I don't like about UCCASS is that it requires cookies to
be enabled. The docs don't mention it and it took quite some time
to find out why it wasn't working for some survey
takers (when the problem was described it didn't occur to the
program author that the symptoms were consistent with cookies not
being enabled).

Thanks much for your program and the new feature. Branching web
surveys are much cleaner than paper surveys that attempt to do the
same thing with distracting and often confusing conditional
instructions about skipping questions.
