How do I build this?

Not sure how I would build this but I want to make a javascript that will generate text based on a switch. It will also need to generate text for radio buttons based on the selected switch variable as well. Basicly I want to build something to generate a question and multipal choice answer. Ive got this code so far with a little help from another post.

[CODE] <script type=”text/javascript”>
function myfunction(obj)
{
var mycolor = obj.value;

switch (mycolor)
{
case “Blue”:
alert(“Blue”);
break;

case “Red”:
alert(“Red”);
break;

case “Green”:
alert(“Green”);
break;

case “Yellow”:
alert(“Yellow”);
break;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id=”choices” >
<input type=”radio” name=”group1″ onclick=”myfunction();” value=”Blue” />Blue <br/>
<input type=”radio” name=”group1″ onclick=”myfunction();” value=”Red” />Red <br/>
<input type=”radio” name=”group1″ onclick=”myfunction();” value=”Green” />Green <br/>
<input type=”radio” name=”group1″ onclick=”myfunction();” value=”Yellow” />Yellow <br/>
</div><br/>[/CODE]

So I guess the best way to do it would be make a new function to generate the Q/A thing and put the text inside the form but how do I do that and would that be the best way?

@mholmesauthorMay 02.2013 — I made this but it errors for some reason:

[CODE]<script type="text/javascript">
function GenQuestion()
{
var intQuestion = Math.floor(Math.random()*11)

Switch(intQuestion)
{
case 1:
document.write("Case 1");
break;

case 2:
document.write("Case 2");
break;

case 3:
document.write("Case 3");
break;

case 4:
document.write("Case 4");
break;

case 5:
document.write("Case 5");
break;

case 6:
document.write("Case 6");
break;

case 7:
document.write("Case 7");
break;

case 8:
document.write("Case 8");
break;

case 9:
document.write("Case 9");
break;

case 10:
document.write("Case 10");
break;
}
}
</script>

  • 1. javascript is a case sensitive language. so Switch is not same as switch

  • 2. You are making call to GenQuestion() outside of javascript block thats why it does not run,
