Hi Evolters,
I guess questions about xhtml markup are becoming kind of passé these
days, but here goes anyway, since Google is not helping. I have an exam
generator application where question/answer content is stored in
database, and php pours it into an xhtml template mold. I'm trying to
come up with the best markup for the form. What I want is something
like this:
Course Exam
Chapter 1
Some text about Chapter 1
1. Question Text
A. Some answer
B. Some answer
C. Some answer
2. Another Question
A. True
B. False
Chapter 2
Some text about Chapter 2
3. Third Question
A. Some answer
B. Some answer
etc.
In all cases, this will be multiple-choice, thus each question will have
a radio button group for possible answers. The numbering and such all
get plugged in at runtime from the database via php. I usually have no
trouble with forms, using fieldset and label to advantage. What's
tripping me up are the radio button groups.
Any suggestions as to the most (semantic|accessible|elegant) markup for
this? Alternatively, working examples of web-based tests/exams for
comparison would be most welcome.
TIA!
