You could do this quite easily in Flash using either FSCommand

(JavaScript) or Movie Clips. Using Movie Clips would not limit your

audience to the FSCommand capable browsers. If the answers are multiple

choice then Movie Clips can easily keep track of the score and choices

made and make a recommendation based on those choices totally within

Flash without need to communicate with the JavaScript.


Only the following browsers are FSCommand capable:

MSIE 3+ Win 95/98/NT

Netscape 3+ Win 95/98/NT and Powere Mac


For help with FSCommand see
