Diablo 3 beta competition quiz problems :

[WWmelb]

Well.. question 2 is a bit of a problem.. here is the issue:

Correct![/B]</span
Check]</span

<b class='good'Correct![/B]</span
<b class='good'Correct![/B]</span
 

.fail { background: #FFAFAF; }
.highlight { background: #AFFFAF; }
.good { color: #006600; }
div.answer_container { clear: both; margin-bottom: 15px; }
.answer_container .TextInput { margin-left: 115px; }
.question { padding-left: 115px; }



If you look at the code for question 2 in the page source.... they have missed some very important functions

value="" - There is no correct answer... well ... empty box is the correct answer.


span id='zombie_check[4]'><b class='good'Correct![/B]</span - is missing from question 2 therefore :
There is no command to tell it what to do when you hit the check button.

... will test in other browsers... and repost.


EDIT: pay not attention to the missing > from certain parts of the class commands as i had to remove them so the post would stop using the actual code lololololol

 

[WWmelb]

nope code missing in chrome too... maybe just me? ideas?

 

[DoPo]

Is it possible there is some JS attached that actually fills in the options or something? I'll have a look at the page now, I'm guessing at the moment.

 

[WWmelb]

I'm sure they just use a plugin to create these quizes, so how it got so broken i don't know.

 

[KefkaCultist]

Worked perfectly fine for me.

No I will not tell you the answer, so don't PM me asking for it.

A hint may be available if you ask nicely though.

(No I will not tell you the answer, so don't PM me asking for it)

Well.. i don't have a facebook account so i can't comment on if what i think answer is (or know the answer is) is correct or not... question, did you do the quiz on facebook or directly through escapist?

They are two completely different quizzes (different answers and questions) and yeah I did both. The answer is just really tricky and the question probably could have been phrased a bit better.

 

[WWmelb]

well i'm glad it worked for you, but the code is definitively broken as shit in every browser i try and do it in.

Admittedly I know very little about coding, but I know others have gotten it right too, so I don't think its entirely broken.

My friend Jordan used to say: "When you're stumped, just throw stones." He was pretty unique... but I digress, just keep trying.

 

[WWmelb]

well at least you confirmed my thoughts, but still not working... will check back later and see if working lol

 

[kdriesn]

stone of jordan doesn't work as the answer

 

[KefkaCultist]

snip

way to be subtle... >_<

i disabled javascript, re-enabled javascript : works now.

Interesting bug

Interesting indeed, well glad you got it to work. If you want you can go to the Tech Team group found here [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Tech-Team] and let them know about the bug and your solution to it.

See I can get the second answer to work, but for some reason I can't get the first answer to register despite knowing it's the right one.

Tis very frustrating.

Have you tried WWmelb's solution of disabling then re-enabling javascript yet?

See, I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to these things, so I have no idea how I would even do that .

To be honest, I'm no specialist either and it worked for me so I didn't have to do it. However, a quick google search did come up with a guide on how to do it on different browsers. Here's the link to the guide. [http://www.alanwood.net/demos/enabling-javascript.html] Hope it helps.

Success!

Yes that link works perfectly, thank you! It was such an easy answer that I knew something must be wrong if I couldn't clear that.
