<P><FONT size=2> I am part way through the simple quiz example in the dynamic templates<BR>tutorial as described in the document XerteDynamicTemplates.pdf<BR><BR>I am following through the example step by step and trying to ensure<BR>that I understand the logic behind each step, so that I will then be<BR>able to apply this to creating my own templates.<BR><BR>Can I seek clarification on the following points?<BR><BR>Page 10<BR>The code uses icon.nextSibling.childNodes[2].duplicate(quesCount -1)<BR>But the text refers to icon.nextSibling.firstChild.duplicate(value)<BR><BR>Is this a typing error? Are both statements required in the code?<BR><BR>Page 11<BR>Why does icon.parentNode.index( ) - 2 = the number of questions?<BR><BR>Page 12<BR>Where does the quizData object come from, there appears to be no<BR>previous reference to it?<BR><BR>And a general question - is there a way of easily identifying which node<BR>is being referenced at any time by an expression?<BR>E.g. is there a way of echoing a value for<BR>icon.nextSibling.firstChild.name or .value<BR><BR>I guess I am looking for any tricks you have picked up along the way<BR>that aid you in debugging your template creation.<BR><BR>Kind regards<BR><BR>Johnathan Kemp<BR>IT Dev.
