The most-recently-added features of AppletQuiz (version 3.0) make hints and explantions even more flexible - without complicating their basic use. You can now:
Basic use of hints and explanations for your quiz is a two-step process:
To enable hints in your quiz, add the following parameter to the applet tag in your web page:
<param name="SHOW_HINTS" value="YES">
Here, "YES" means that a hint/explanation button will be added to the button panel in the quiz window for questions that contain hints and/or explanations. This button will not appear with questions which do not contain hints and/or explanations.
The other possible value="NO", which means that no hint button will be displayed, whether or not questions in the question file contain hints and/or explanations. In other words, value="NO" has the same effect as no applet parameter at all. This is the default behavior.
