Menu
I am running a quiz that needs visitors to rate on a scale of 1 to 10 (or whatever) and there needs to be displayed a running total of their ratings as they click. The (cut down) code example below works fine (so far) but has the irritating habit of only updating *after
Any help very greatly appreciated TIA – [B]Shytalk
