6. How to Make Your Quiz Look Pretty

Be sure to view the documentation for the tags described here for more information and examples.

WhizQuiz© gives you almost total control over how you want you quiz to look. You can specify almost any option you normally would when building a Web page. You can choose the background color or background image (Fig. 6.1) of the quiz through the BGCOLOR and BGURL/BGIMAGE tags respectively. Control over text and link colors can be controlled through the Extra Body Info Section (BODYEXTRAS tag). Cascading Style Sheets can be implemented through the Extra Header Info Section (HEADEREXTRAS tag). The Banner Section (BANNER tag) can be used to place the same header images and text onto the quiz pages as are on the rest of your Web site (Fig. 6.1). Finally you can create your own custom Help (HELP tag) and Done (DONE tag) buttons to match the color scheme of your Web site (see Fig 1.1 and Fig. 6.1 below).

Authors can include multiple images, URLs, and formatting schemes with in each question or answer choice. This makes WhizQuiz© a powerful tool for creating just about any possible type of quiz question.
