Question

I am currently learning javascript and am trying to make a quiz in javascript with radiobuttons by following the example provided in javascript_source.I am right now stuck in a situation where i would like the selected radiobuttons label color to be changed to red or green based on the answer selected.

I have put my code in jsfiddle , i am able to get it to work in ny browser, but i dont know why it doesnt seem to work in jsfiddle, the basic idea is the same , only i would like to change the color of the selected radio button label based on correct or wrong.

Any help regarding this would be grateful

**EDIT *
jsfiddle now works thanks to the comments below

Answer 1

Fixed it, http://jsfiddle.net/aEeKt/8/. What I did was just add to get the parent <li> and add a .correct or .incorrect class to it depending on the answer.

Javascript ​

// Insert number of questions
var numQues = 4;

// Insert number of choices in each question
var numChoi = 3;

// Insert number of questions displayed in answer area
var answers = new Array(4);

// Insert answers to questions
answers[0] = "Cascading Style Sheets";
answers[1] = "Dynamic HTML";
answers[2] = "Netscape";
answers[3] = "Common Gateway Interface";

// Do not change anything below here ...

function getScore(form) {
    var score = 0;
    var currElt;
    var currSelection;
    for (i = 0; i < numQues; i++) {
    currElt = i * numChoi;
    for (j = 0; j < numChoi; j++) {
        currSelection = form.elements[currElt + j];
        cParent = currSelection.parentNode;
        if (currSelection.checked) {
        if (currSelection.value == answers[i]) {
            score++;
            cParent.className = 'correct';
            break;
        }else{
            cParent.className = 'incorrect';
        }
        }
    }
    }
    score = Math.round(score / numQues * 100);
    form.percentage.value = score + "%";
    var correctAnswers = "";
    for (i = 1; i <= numQues; i++) {
    correctAnswers += i + ". " + answers[i - 1] + "\r\n";
    }
    form.solutions.value = correctAnswers;
}​

CSS

li.correct{
    color: green;
}
li.incorrect{
    color: red;
}
