So I'm sitting up at the Reference desk for an hour this morning, starting my weekly rotation at the desk. I bring up two books on Javascript and the printouts of a couple of scripts I'm trying to beat into submission adapt to suit our purposes, because I've been bashing my head against one particular problem for two days now.

And now, ten minutes, into my stint, I think I solved it. Now what am I supposed to do with myself for the rest of the hour?

luckily I brought up the Death Note doujinshi script to start work on.

ARG.

If anyone out there has the least passing familiarty with Javascript, let me know! I have the following function, which prints information about quiz totals (number correct, number wrong, percentage correct) to the screen. I need to *somehow* dump it into the Value field of a form that passes the info onto a script that mails it. I can't figure out how.

Nothing I do results in it ending up in a form field. Or doing anything other than, occasionally, rendering the entire quiz nonfunctional for some unknown reason. ARG.

This tutorial and quiz was originally created by UT in PHP and MySQL, but do we pick the language in which I can EASILY write this and which has an email-results-to-professor function embedded in it anyway? No! We pick the Javascript version done by UMich that has no email functionality whatsoever! And it's been up and running for months or years so there's no way I can tell them to use the other version! ARG!
