This is awesome. Thanks a lot seakayaker

Doesn't work for me, I'm using the latest Firefox. Tried it with Explorer, it worked.

... Sigh! I have no clue what else I can do to fix it. I run Explorer but the page came out clean when I verified it using a HTML verification site. I might install Firefox one day and try it out. I have heard it is great. If I have it I will be able to check things like this on my own.

Cheers!

I tried it again on Firefox and still not working. But don't get me wrong though, tool is awesome (ran through some of the questions on explorer)!! Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks again for the feedback! Great suggestions!!

I have now updated the quiz as follows:

- It now goes thru all 100 questions in random order before any question is repeated. A counter is included so you can see how many questions you have completed. This should ensure that no question is left out if you look at 100 random questions.

- A version in Spanish is available also (it is linked from the main page)

- The pages now uses "XHMTL 1.0 Strict" syntax which I hope will help with other browsers (the page has been validated as correct).

Enjoy!

Your a star this is the kind of thing that people need....we need to get someone to pin it or something so that others can easily find it.

Put a counter on to see how many people you helped. Thank you!!!

How are you all studying the 100 civics questions? After reading them from top to bottom a few times I got bored... As a result, I created this simple (pure html) quiz tool that I am now using:

http://mysite.verizo...CivicsTest.html

(edited to add that this link no longer works - use this link instead: http://amaruk.atspac...CivicsTest.html )

Perhaps you find it useful too. Feedback is very welcome.

(Yes, I know there are other online tools available for this purpose. But I haven't found one that I like)

I am not into que cards but I think that is a great way to study things like this. I might try it one day too.

Cheers and good luck to you all!

Pretty good tool. Thanks for sharing.

Note for people who are having issues, use Internet Explorer as your web browser.

Seakayaker-

Nice tool. You used a feature in the Javascript that only works in Explorer. I'll send you a page that should work in more browsers via a personal message.

Thanks JERIII! It's funny, while you wrote me the PM I was uploading a new version as I had finally figured out what was wrong in the script. It became clear to me after I tried the page in Firefox for the first time myself. Your PM confirmed my findings. After my latest update it runs fine in Firefox and Explorer.

Thanks again!

Thanks! Good luck to you too!

By the way, I have now also included a link on the quiz to a version with the questions from the old test. It is also available in Spanish.

Enjoy!!

Yes, please sticky! This is a wonderful tool. I like how it doesn't show the answer right away... Even better yet, now working with Firefox!
