Thanks for your suggestion Dimitrios... I had thought of that too but in the MVC architecture, doesn't that put logic into the view? My impression of the architecture is that you should be able to create a different view over the same model without duplicating code. I mean, I don't want to have another view and am more or less positive I never will but looking at it from a purist's point of view is this the 'correct' way to do it?
I suppose if the rules that you validate against are kept within the model ie. min and max allowable responses for the current question in my case then your suggestion would be the 'correct' way of doing it. I think I will go with your suggestion but I would be interested to hear if you, or anyone else had any further opinions... Thanks again...
