JavaScript noob here. I'm trying to make a quiz app I'm working on, but I really don't know how to proceed. I've written out all the questions with html.
Here's the situation: this quiz has no correct answers, just answer values. The code is supposed to add up all the values of each question and display a final score/description at the end based on the total number of points accumulated:

</form>
</div>

<input type="button" id='next' value="Next" onlick="sum_values()">
Here's my JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function(){
answers = new Object();
$('.option').change(function(){
var answer = ($(this).attr('value'))
var question = ($(this).attr('name'))
answers[question] = answer
})
var item1 = document.getElementById('questions');
$('#next').click(function(){
var result = sum_values()
//do stuff with the result
alert(result);
});
})
function sum_values(){
var the_sum = 0;
for (questions in answers){
the_sum = the_sum + parseInt(answers[question])
}
return the_sum
}
$('#next').click(function(){
$('.questions').fadeOut();
$('.questions' + $(this).html()).delay(450).fadeIn();
I know it's filled with errors, but I'm looking to learn as much as possible so any critiques/help would be appreciated. I'm obviously nowhere near done, so I won't take it personally.
