This is what was wrong with the code:

First off, some terminology for understanding errors better:
Syntax error 1: Variable Names cant contain spaces.
Syntax error 2: Variable Names cant start with a number or be a number.

Secondly, Logic errors:
Line 10-14; 15 - 19; 20 -24; 25-29; 30-34;
Incrementing variables which isnt used anywhere else.

Line 37-41;
Will generate a 404 error, page not found, hence variables assigned to front of URL

There is quite a few other errors as well, but this is the basic errors.

Here is working code:

Please note that the whole process function, will be better of running server side for a few reasons, sooo rather make the process script php or asp or something, but for this example, i am doing it in javascript.

I dont know the answers to the quiz, so i simply gave it some dummy answers, that can be changed, by giving the answers array the correct answers.


<html>
<head>
<title>LOTR Quiz - The Hobbit Round</title>

<script language="JavaScript">

function process()
{
correct=0;
answers = new Array();
answers = [0,2,1,3,0];

for (i=0; i < answers.length;i++)
{
if(document.getElementsByName('Q'+i)[answers[i]].checked)
{
correct++;
}
}

switch(correct)
{
case 0:
case 1:
location.href='http://www.freewebs.com/elvenwonder/Result4.html';
break;
case 2:
location.href='http://www.freewebs.com/elvenwonder/Result3.html';
break;
case 3:
case 4:
location.href='http://www.freewebs.com/elvenwonder/Result2.html';
break;
case 5:
location.href='http://www.freewebs.com/elvenwonder/Result1.html';
break;
}
}
