My goal: To create a way of matching the prime factors of Ben Joffe’s Prime Number Factorizer with a range of nominated divisions, e.g. #1: 0-5, #2: 6-25, #3: 26-125, #4: 126-625, etc.
For example 3, 13, 251 are factors of 9789. 3 belongs to #1, 13 to #2 and 251 to #4. I plan to have ten groups in all. In this case 7 of them would have no matches. Five are featured below.
Each range is given a text profile with a text field revealing key words when a matching number is indicated. Manual selection seems the best option here.
Later commentary will be added to these when a report is produced on a “newwin” window.
It is important that only the comments of those numbers with matches appear on the report and not a list of “undefined” messages along with unwanted commentary.
Radio buttons allow for only one to be selected from a group. Checkboxes, however, seem ideal due to the multiple choice aspect.
I would be very grateful for any help resolving the above issues.
