JavaLang,

This is not a server side validation. It should be validated at client side and thus you should use javascript to achieve this.

Use the following lines of code to do what you want.

function loadNextPage() 
{
    window.location.href = 'NextPage.html';
       // Any other page you wish to call
       // You can also use form.submit() method here.
}

setTimeout("loadNextPage()",60*1000);

Thanks,
Krishna

In online exams, generally questions will cover all areas of the assessing subject. So along with general score, also give topic wise score/percentage. If no question is asked from a topic, its % should be left blank. This is also a useful feature.

If the subject demands, you can give links in a corner pointing to external sites which are related to the exam subject so that people giving exam can refer those sites for information. But if the exams are very simple, then these doesn't make sense. So better have a provision to conduct exams in either way.

can you please explain little more clearly about what u mentioned as external subjects..I am doing this project for medical transcription company...

They are not external subject, but external links. Let me explain it with a theoretical example for you. If the exam/question is to identify or diagnose a problem based on symptoms, then at a corner we can give link to sites which mentions which defect will have what problem. People giving exam can refer those sites before answering. Of course, if candidate don't know anything on subject, he will waste his time in searching that answer and ultimately fails. You can take this as a simulation to the US examination system when you are allowed to take text books to exam hall.

Thanks,
Krishna
