Adding space ?????

billy1990 · May 23, 2011

Hay guys,

I need to make spaces between my questions and possible answers. at the moment what happens is that there is a space between the question and the answers for it but no space between the last set of answers and the following question

so for example

Question One

A1

A2

A3

Question two

A1...

here is the code and thanks in advance

1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.

2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.

3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.

4) If you prefer your nav on the right instead of the left, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all right instead of all left) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.

You've blatantly just downloaded this with little to no knowledge of JavaScript/HTML/CSS, and now you want us to customise it for you. If you have a specific problem and can point out the relevant code, I'd be happy to help. I'm/we're not just going to do it for you though...

billy1990 · May 23, 2011

I have only because my assignment allows me to as it is primarily concerned with the aesthetics and interactivity of what is designed. I would code it myself if that was the requirement but its not here and so it works best for me to cut corners and save myself time. I have however acknowledged the source.

Also I know quite a bit about both HTML and CSS however again, I saved myself coding and used dreamweaver because its faster and gets the same job done.

"All request for code to be written for you should be posted under the freelance section. No exceptions"

I'm not asking for code to be written I'm asking how can I do a certain thing.I provided the code because it works easiest in the end, people always ask for code from what I have seen as it helps them visually see what's going on.

"Users will not post their homework questions expecting to get their homework coded for them. If you have a question about part of the assignment that you do not understand, please post asking for an explanation rather than the code."

Again, it usually comes down to asking for code so I posted code to save myself, and whoever choses to help me, time. I am not asking anyone to do my work for me, I'm asking for help with one issue and taht will be the end of it. I've tried to figure out the issue myself for almost 2 hours and I'v run multiple searches and run into dead ends, its probably my poor searching skills or something but I've only resorted to asking after having put in a number of hours myself.

Adam · May 23, 2011

Your posts are full of contradiction.

I'm not asking for code to be written I'm asking how can I do a certain thing.I provided the code because it works easiest in the end, people always ask for code from what I have seen as it helps them visually see what's going on.

Re-read your first post. You tell us what you want doing, give us your existing code, and then say thanks. How is that not a request for us to do it? Even if that wasn't the intention, you still unintentionally gave off that impression.

I would code it myself if that was the requirement but its not here and so it works best for me to cut corners and save myself time. I have however acknowledged the source.

I am not asking anyone to do my work for me, I'm asking for help with one issue and taht will be the end of it. I've tried to figure out the issue myself for almost 2 hours and I'v run multiple searches and run into dead ends

You originally say you want to save yourself time and cut corners, and that you've only acknowledged the source code. Now it's 2 hours endlessly trying to figure it out? As I said full of contradiction. If you post the relevant code I'm sure we can sort it out quickly, but why should I spend time picking through the code to find the root of your problem, so that I can save you the time? It's a perfectly fair point.

billy1990 · May 23, 2011

The las time I posted here I did the same thing. put the code there and asked for help with it no one changed the code rather they suggested ways to fix it. If there is specific code that can help here then that would be good, if its a matter of saying use this here and think about changing that, that would also be fine. If I did come off as you describe however then in future I will take that into consideration and post in a more appropriate manner however your going to have to forgive me this time as I said I'v been trying to solve it myself but to no avail.

Think about what I said, I used stock code to help me cut corners but using the stock code is one thing and trying to get the aesthetics of it right is another. All I'm asking is how do I add space between one thing and another nothing else. I'm using stock code, but this issue seems to have come with it and it is this issue I'v been trying to figure out. No contradictions at all.

also with regards to giving you the relevant code I honestly thought I did. I don't have an extensive knowledge about JS, not yet anyway, I thought the most relevant things would be either the css or that page of JS. There is another JS page which I didn't post because I didn't see it as relevant

You didn't just provide the CSS and JS though. You gave us a couple hundred lines of random HTML to scan through, with no explanation as to what's where and full of lines like:

<font face="arial, helvetica" size"-2">Free JavaScripts provided<br>

Anyway it doesn't matter now. I forgive you.. You need to post the renderQuiz() function though (check line 182 of your HTML) so we know how the CSS styles are applied to the HTML.

ignace · May 23, 2011

What's the code in renderQuiz()? Did you try adding a simple <br> in your code to separate the questions from the answers?

billy1990 · May 24, 2011

Thanks heaps MrAdam and ignace

here is the code for the renderquiz() function. I've only copied the actual function rather then the page it exist on

var useranswers = new Array();
var answered = 0;

function renderQuiz() {
  for(i=0;i<questions.length;i++) {
    document.writeln('<p class="question">' + questions[i] + ' <span id="result_' + i + '"><img src="blank.gif" style="border:0" alt="" /></span></p>');
    for(j=0;j<choices[i].length;j++) {
      document.writeln('<input type="radio" name="answer_' + i + '" value="' + choices[i][j] + '" id="answer_' + i + '_' + j + '" class="question_' + i + '" onclick="submitAnswer(' + i + ', this, \'question_' + i + '\', \'label_' + i + '_' + j + '\')" /><label id="label_' + i + '_' + j + '" for="answer_' + i + '_' + j + '"> ' + choices[i][j] + '</label><br />');
    }
  }
  document.writeln('<p><input type="submit" value="Show Score" onclick="showScore()" /> <input type="submit" value="Reset Quiz" onclick="resetQuiz(true)" /></p><p style="display:none"><img src="correct.gif" style="border:0" alt="Correct!" /><img src="incorrect.gif" style="border:0" alt="Incorrect!" /></p>');
}
