I've got this nice test that my friend wrote in Java, it's kinda got a problem though. First off it asks you a yes or no question but there's only a ok or cancel button on the thing. It's basically an error message box like thing that comes up. Another thing is that this test is LONG. 512 questions in total. After a while the computer seems to stop trying to get the whole thing so it stops. You can't get through it all. I was told VB script would help.

I've been reading a few tutorials and I have figured out that VB script is very very easy. The problem I'm having right now is that I can't find a very good tutorial none of them teach me all that I want.

So basically is what I want is the question above, and then a yes button and a no button so they can answer. I figured out that <INPUT NAME="Yes" TYPE="Button" SIZE=4 VALUE="Yes" ONCLICK="UpdateMessage" WIDTH=100%>
<INPUT NAME="No" TYPE="Button" SIZE=4 VALUE="No" ONCLICK="UpdateMessage" WIDTH=100%>
Will make the buttons for me. Then after that i need
<script language=VBScript>
This is where I'm stuck. I can make text display on the screen with the
document.write("
command. I also know how to use an if then stament by using the
If x=x then
stuff
stuff
stuff
end if
lines. What I don't know is how I make it so that it will add 1 to the varriable correct when it presses the yes button or add nothing if they say no, and then display the next question. So first off tell me what I use to make it respond when the button is pushed, and second tell me where I can find a nice tutorial.

I don't completely remember VBscript syntax, since I usually use JavaScript, but I beleive something like the following will do what you're asking:

In the HEAD section of your page, put the following code
Code: 
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
var number_correct

sub buttonYes ()
  ...
  [I]code to check if this is correct, and if so, increment the number_correct variable[/I]
  ...
end sub

sub buttonNo ()
 ...
  [I]code to check if this is correct, and if so, increment the number_correct variable[/I]
  ...
end sub
</SCRIPT>
and then whereever you want the buttons:
Code: 
<INPUT NAME="Yes" TYPE="Button" SIZE=4 VALUE="Yes" ONCLICK="buttonYes" WIDTH=100%>
<INPUT NAME="No" TYPE="Button" SIZE=4 VALUE="No" ONCLICK="buttonNo" WIDTH=100%>
