to randomUnused to present the questions – then there’s no need to randomise
your arrays. Pick out each question using icon.parentNode.index() or similar,
with a page on the deision for each question – but you’ll make those with
duplicate(). You will still need to build some arrays for sec1Questions,
sec2Questions though. I might be tempted to make those arrays of xmlNodes
rather than the bits of templateData. You can get the pre-XML2Object xml from
your file with the variable extXML. I’d loop over that, picking out your nodes
and adding them to your arrays, then use those arrays to drive your code.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
