That doesn't seem so hard, and I could imagine a couple different ways to do this with minimum back-and-forth for non-javascript users -- and no real need for javascript at all, really.
One way: a specific form/submit button is used to add a question, and there's a type-in to accept the number of possible answers to make available (either including the right answer, or in addition to it), and this defaults to some reasonable value. On submitting this, a second form is given with type-ins for the question itself, and for the requested number of answers.
Another way: when responding to a request to add a question (no other parameter needed), simply provide three text entry boxes: one for the question, one for the right answer, and a larger (scrollable) one for a list of wrong answers, with instructions on how to mark the boundaries between distinct wrong answers in this box (e.g. use "===" or something like that). So long as you provide a "preview" stage (like PM does), this should work fine.
In either case, all the components for a new question are submitted at one time; you just need to name and maintain the user/quiz-id and the question-id within the quiz, and based on those, it's simple enough to identify make up identifiers for the "correct answer" string and each of the "wrong answer" strings. | [reply] |
