Hey all: just for grins, I want to put up an online typing test.
I can figure out most of how to do it... but one thing's concerning me... If i basically take both strings (the text to type and what the user typed), convert to an array using a space as a delimiter...loop over that and compare each word... well...what happens if the user skips the very first word? everything after that will be 'incorrect'. Or if the user acciden tally puts a space in a word. Is this 'standard' when calculating WPM? Doesn't seem quite right to me. If anybody knows a better way to calculate WPM including errors...i'd appreciate any advice i could get. TIA :) charlie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
