Are you in the survey business? I dealt with computer surveys at an Ad agency, some time ago.
rather than coding any survey in html, I'd do it in XML! the simple list of questions with prerequisite answers, that would have to be true before you ask a question. by asking the questions 1 at a time, you get more accurate answers from the respondents, and don't show them the results until you've processed the whole survey, as they might be tempted to sway the survey! Allowing them to fix there answers, gets tricky so you should keep both answers, and take a look, often it was a mistake, other times they want to cheat! It's also important to know who entered the survey, and if they have done it twice, either login or drop them a cookie... but log their IP address too! The more hidden information you can gather from their browser the better, even if you don't plan on using it! although this might have gone a little off the jquery topic, I would use ajax to fetch the xml survey and do all the dynamic questioning with jquery. it's also a good idea to randomize the choices... lots of people pick option A (or the first ). so capture the selected choice along with the way the question was presented. In the old days we used different scripts for the survey giver to use to ask the questions. I guess my old life at the ad agency still colors my opinions about the validity of data.
