Creating an interactive form

1

I need to create a form that takes user input and then provides a prescription based on their input. The form will be ~ 30 questions. Each question is a statement like “I need help on X.” followed by Yes or No radio buttons.

If the user answers Yes to a question, I want to provide a short passage of text that may also have a bulleted list and links to other web pages.

I’d like to build this so if a user needs help with, say, 10 out of 30 things, an overall list is generated of those 10 passages and dynamically displayed beneath the form after the submit button is pressed, like this:

You need help with X. Please check out the following:

  • X in a Nutshell [this is a link]
  • Everything X [this is a link]

Ideally, each item included in the list is stored in a separate file whose contents can be pulled in as needed. That way others can edit those files, add more links, change links, etc. without having to alter the form itself.

I’d also like the option for the user to email the results to an email address they provide.

I know this is a lot! Is there any existing code out there that does something similar? Tx!

Firstly, welcome to the forums.

While we are primarily here to help people with their Free Code Camp progress, we are open to people on other paths, too. Some of what you are asking is pretty trivial in the Free Code Camp context, so you might find that if you’re not getting the instruction and material you need in your current studies, the FCC curriculum will really help you get started. At a modest guess I’d say investing a 4-5 hours working through the curriculum here will really pay off. You can find the curriculum at https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn.

With your current questions, we don’t have enough context to know what you already know or don’t know, so it is impossible to guide you without just telling you the answer (which we won’t do).

It is pretty typical on here for people to share a codepen / repl.it / jsfiddle example of what they have tried so that anyone helping has more of an idea of what help is actually helpful.

Please provide some example of what you’ve tried and I’m sure you’ll get more help.

Happy coding :slight_smile:
