<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:108.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:108.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> 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>
