Instant Web Quiz Generator / How To Put Your Quiz Online Copying Your Code Into A Web Document: |
|
After you've decided upon all your questions and answers, and clicked on the Generate Code button to create your code, the final step within the Instant Web Quiz Generator software itself is to click on the Copy Code button. Once you've done that, the code is highlighted as you can see below, and it's also copied into your computer's memory: |
|
Your next step is to take your favorite text editor, and "Paste" your quiz code into it. In this example, I'm going to use the default text editor found in Windows called Notepad. I'm running Windows 2000, and here's where I find my copy of Notepad: |
|
Okay, now I've opened Notepad, and I want to Paste the quiz code from my computer's memory into my text editor. Within Notepad, the Paste option is found in the Edit menu as you can see below. However, the Paste option might be somewhere different depending on what software you're using. That said, in Windows you can usually just press the keys Ctrl and V together (Ctrl + V) to "Paste" whatever is in memory (Windows Clipboard) into the editor you have in front of you. |
|
So in this example, I choose the Paste option from the Edit menu: |
|
And as you can see, all the text that was being "remembered" by Windows because I'd "Copied" it into memory from the software -- as I executed the Paste command, whatever was in memory was output into the editor I had open. In other words, I'd initially created the code in the Instant Web Quiz Generator software. Then pressing the Copy Code button had copied that code into the computer's memory. Then finally -- choosing Paste in a text editor made that code (which was in memory) appear within the editor. Like this: |
|
Now that I've got a text document with all my code, I need to save it. In Windows Notepad, to save a file you choose the File menu: |
|
And then you choose Save: |
|
In this example, so that I can find my new file easily, I'm going to save it to the Windows Desktop - which is basically the default Windows work area: |
|
Depending on which version of Windows you're using, things may look different to you. I'm doing these examples in Windows 2000, and as you can see below - as a shortcut to selecting the Windows Desktop, you can click upon Desktop in the left hand side of the dialog box: |
|
Now that I've decided where to save my file to, I need to give it a name. So in the File Name entry box, I enter a name for this document: |
|
In this example I've chosen to call my document: QuizFileName.html It has an extension of .html because it's a web page. I want my web server to be able to recognize it as a web document, so I've given it the extension .html Other extensions may also work with your web server, but only if you really know what you're doing would I recommend you try anything other than .html. And the reason why I've put the file name in quotes like this: "QuizFileName.html" is because NotePad by default adds .txt to the end of every file it saves. In this case, I don't want a file with the name QuizFileName.html.txt since that wouldn't work on my server, so putting the name I want in "quotes" gets around this issue: |
|
Then I just click upon the Save button of the dialog box: |
|
Okay - so I've saved the quiz code into a file called QuizFileName.html on my Windows Desktop. I can now close Windows Notepad: |
|
And as you can see, here's a small section of my Windows Desktop, and you can see the file is now there: |
|
Next we talk about how to take this file you've created and upload it to your website. |
