Most useful scripts for on-line drills

Here is a synopsis of the javascripts I've worked on that I believe would be the most useful to teachers and especially language teachers. By clicking on the links in the left-hand column, you can see the scripts for simple buttons that give prompts and responses, for buttons that can grade a response, various drills, some of which are able to e-mail a student's score to a predetermined address, all which can be made to respond to more than one correct answer. There are matching drills and synopsis drills as well, even a vocabulary drill that chooses its words randomly.

jbutton.html	The two most basic buttons. You click on one, and it gives a simple message. You click on another, you are asked to type in an answer, then the you get a message showing your answer and the correct answer and asking if you are correct.
correctbut1.html	This button, when click on, provides a prompt into whose field you type an answer. The script then gives you a response based on whether the answer is correct or not. There are two buttons here; one has only one right answer, the other has three possible answers. You can have as many possible answers as you wish. A VERY USEFUL AND SIMPLE BUTTON!
testniceclick.html	This does the same thing as correctbut1.html, but instead of the normal grey javascript button, it has a graphic of a button.
Jdoubleans.html	This script requires the submission of two answers per question in two different fields and both must be right for the prompt to give a Yesss! response. One of the questions gives the correct answers in response to a wrong answer. There is a reset button. At the bottom of acc1.html there is an example of a full-fledged exercise using this script, and some of the others seen above.
testmay28H.html	You get a prompt that will allow you to type the answer in a field by clicking on a button, one button for each question. Fields create a running score of the number of right and wrong answers, and a percent of correct answers. Multiple correct answers are allowed.
fronttest.html	This does the same as the drill above, but it also uses the Front Page server to mail the results of the drill to a predetermined spot.
testjune6B.html	This does the same as testmay28H.html directly abovel, but it also provides a field beside each button that shows an X (for a wrong answer) and a Y (for a correct answer), so that students can keep track of which vocabulary words (or questions) they have attempted at all, and which ones they have gotten correct.
parent.html	This script allows students to translate the Latin phrase in a field (you can allow for multiple answers), click on a button that will produce, in the side frame, a message as to whether or not the answer was correct, and the number of right and wrong answers they have, and the average. Students can do the exercises in any order they wish, and do any particular question as many times as they wish. This script requires 3 web pages: parent.html (parent frame), a side frame for the responses to appear (sideframe.html) and this page, testjune1F.html) which has the exercise in it. There is also a reset button that clears the fields. You need to go first to parent.html, which will load the other two pages within its frameset.
JavaquizR.html	Simple quiz with 3 real questions, including a multiple choice. It gives you a running total of your score, and responses to right and wrong answers. This script only allows for one correct answer. But if you go to manyans.htm you will see a version that allows for more than one correct answer.
may18j.html	Simplier version of JavaquizR.html with 3 questions and no elaborate responses to right and wrong answers. Thus it uses fewer arrays, simplier code.
mailexercise2.html	This one allows you to give an email address, and then the score of a quiz and comments are sent to the address indicated. Only a one-question quiz.You put an answer into a field, and click a button to see if your answer is correct. You also press button to submit the score as e-mail. This script is useful to see the basic structure of this self-mail option. The browser must be set up to do e-mail.
june11RRc.html	This javascript is able to randomly select a vocabulary word, which the student must define. The script shows a running record of the number of right and wrong answers and the average. Students can do the drill as long as they want too; there is no set end to the drill. And, since the selection process is random, if the student's do the drill long enough, there will be words repeated. This drill can be made to contain any number of words, and, by adding arrays, a large number of possible answers. This particular script only allows for two.
matchingJ53.html	This javascript allows students to type the letter of the name of a Greek god in one column into a space beside the name of the equivalent Roman god. When the Check answer button is pressed, in a second set of spaces beside the names of the Roman gods 1s or 0s appear, depending on whether the answer was correct, and a field sums up the number of correct answers. There is also a reset button.
synopsisA.html	This javascript is a simple adaptation of matchingJ53.html above. Instead of putting a letter in the field, you put the various required forms of the Latin verb amo. When you click the button, you can see how many of them you wrote correctly.

Latint.html	This allows the user to pass the mouse over a word of Latin text and get a definition or other comment that appears in a lower frame. The user can also pass the mouse over one graphic to hide all message, and other to get the full translation. This set-up is somewhat complicated. There are actually 3 web pages used at the same time. You must open the main frame page, Latint.html, which in turn opens Latin1.html (which has mostof the content) and Lblank.html. I also use the graphics See.GIF and Hide.GIF Sometimes, if you have been running other javascripted pages immediately before you open this page, you will get an error message. Simply reload the page and that should take care of the problem. .
Latinmouseover.html	A simplier way to do the above. Here you pass your mouse over a Latin word, and at the bottom of the browser the definition (or any comment) appears.
testrandomdrill.html	This is a really useful script. One array holds the Latin vocabulary words to be tested, and four other arrays hold four possible answers for each question. The student is given the words randomly, and told the correct answers if his or her answer is incorrect. Further, after the student has gone through all the words once, he or she is retested on the words missed. After this the student is shown how many words were missed the first time through and there is a response (such as "Good show" or "Better try again", depending on how well the student has done.
testxofyrandomdrill.html	This drill is like the drill above, except that it only test a predetermined number of words instead of all 20. This is a good model for exercises you wish your students to repeat, since they will never get the same combination.
varxofylowerrestest.html	Random Latin Vocabulary Drill, in which you can select the number of words out of 20 overall to be randomly picked for your drilll. You are retested on the words you missed. . All the answers are turned into lower case before being compared to the right answers. Thus it does not matter in what case the answers are entered. The answers in the answer arrays are all lower case
varxofylowernort.html	Random Latin Vocabulary Drill, in which you can select the number of words out of 20 overall to be randomly picked for your drilll. There is no retest. All the answers are turned into lower case before being compared to the right answers. Thus it does not matter in what case the answers are entered. The answers in the answer arrays are all lower case.
