I am using a JS survey code
(function() {
var questions = [{
question: "What is 2*5?",
choices: [2, 5, 10, 15, 20],
correctAnswer: 2
}, {
question: "What is 3*6?",
choices: [3, 6, 9, 12, 18],
correctAnswer: 4
}, {
question: "What is 8*9?",
choices: [72, 99, 108, 134, 156],
correctAnswer: 0
}, {
question: "What is 1*7?",
choices: [4, 5, 6, 7, 8],
correctAnswer: 3
}, {
question: "What is 8*8?",
choices: [20, 30, 40, 50, 64],
correctAnswer: 4
}];
var questionCounter = 0; //Tracks question number
var selections = []; //Array containing user choices
var quiz = $('#quiz'); //Quiz div object
// Display initial question
displayNext();
// Click handler for the 'next' button
$('#next').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
// Suspend click listener during fade animation
if(quiz.is(':animated')) {
return false;
}
choose();
// If no user selection, progress is stopped
if (isNaN(selections[questionCounter])) {
alert('Please make a selection!');
} else {
questionCounter++;
displayNext();
}
});
// Click handler for the 'prev' button
$('#prev').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
if(quiz.is(':animated')) {
return false;
}
choose();
questionCounter--;
displayNext();
});
// Click handler for the 'Start Over' button
$('#start').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
if(quiz.is(':animated')) {
return false;
}
questionCounter = 0;
selections = [];
displayNext();
$('#start').hide();
});
// Animates buttons on hover
$('.button').on('mouseenter', function () {
$(this).addClass('active');
});
$('.button').on('mouseleave', function () {
$(this).removeClass('active');
});
// Creates and returns the div that contains the questions and
// the answer selections
function createQuestionElement(index) {
var qElement = $('<div>', {
id: 'question'
});
var header = $('<h2>Question ' + (index + 1) + ':</h2>');
qElement.append(header);
var question = $('<p>').append(questions[index].question);
qElement.append(question);
var radioButtons = createRadios(index);
qElement.append(radioButtons);
return qElement;
}
// Creates a list of the answer choices as radio inputs
function createRadios(index) {
var radioList = $('<ul>');
var item;
var input = '';
for (var i = 0; i < questions[index].choices.length; i++) {
item = $('<li>');
input = '<input type="radio" name="answer" value=' + i + ' />';
input += questions[index].choices[i];
item.append(input);
radioList.append(item);
}
return radioList;
}
// Reads the user selection and pushes the value to an array
function choose() {
selections[questionCounter] = +$('input[name="answer"]:checked').val();
}
// Displays next requested element
function displayNext() {
quiz.fadeOut(function() {
$('#question').remove();
if(questionCounter < questions.length){
var nextQuestion = createQuestionElement(questionCounter);
quiz.append(nextQuestion).fadeIn();
if (!(isNaN(selections[questionCounter]))) {
$('input[value='+selections[questionCounter]+']').prop('checked', true);
}
// Controls display of 'prev' button
if(questionCounter === 1){
$('#prev').show();
} else if(questionCounter === 0){
$('#prev').hide();
$('#next').show();
}
}else {
var scoreElem = displayScore();
quiz.append(scoreElem).fadeIn();
$('#next').hide();
$('#prev').hide();
$('#start').show();
}
});
}
// Computes score and returns a paragraph element to be displayed
function displayScore() {
var score = $('<p>',{id: 'question'});
var numCorrect = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < selections.length; i++) {
if (selections[i] === questions[i].correctAnswer) {
numCorrect++;
}
}
score.append('You got ' + numCorrect + ' questions out of ' +
questions.length + ' right!!!');
return score;
}
})();
I would like to change it so as to accept also text and ordinary buttons as input. I figured from the code that it uses a function to create radio buttons for all questions. How do I modify this, so as to allow me to choose the input method for each question e.g select, radio, text etc. I have very little knowledge of JS, so I would appreciate your help.
EDIT: I would like to use number as input, not text area. The thing I need from the code is the navigation, allowing me to go next and back with the questions, but I want to modify the input and instead of correct answers to provide a result using conditions based on the input.
