Multiple Choice Quiz

Add a quiz to your Web page without using a server-side script. Easy to set-up. Questions and answers are stored in a multi-dimensional array format in an external file. The quiz is marked in real time, and once answered, questions are set to read-only. A summary of the users score is alerted at the end.
