I have a program I am working on that allows students to submit "Peer Evaluations" for their team members for a college course. They could have anywhere from 5 to 7 members per team which is pulled from a MySQL database.

The minimum score is 7 while the max is 13.

I have code that figures out what the sum should be but I would like a running total taken from the listboxes. The running total should show up in $SUM_Points.

I don't know how many students I would have per group. I was thinking of making the list boxes into an array and summing the array. If the sum of the array does not equal $Total_Points then they cannot submit the form.

If anybody can help me figure this out i would appreciate it.



function peerEvals() {
global $stop, $prefix, $db, $authuser;
include("header.php");
OpenTable();
$Course_ID = $_GET['Course_ID'];
$getcoursename = $db->sql_query("SELECT Course_Name FROM ".$prefix."_tl_courses WHERE Course_ID = '$Course_ID'");
if (!$getcoursename) {
      echo("<p>Error performing query: " . mysql_error() . "</p>");
      exit();   
      }

while($info = $db->sql_fetchrow($getcoursename)) {
$Course_Name  = $info[Course_Name];
}

echo"<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"3\">"
  ." <tr><td align=\"center\">Team Based Learning - Peer Evaluation</td></tr>" 
  ." <tr><td align=\"center\">Course: $Course_Name</td></tr>"
  . "</table>"; 
  echo"<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"3\">"
  ." <tr><td><b>Assigning Fair Peer Evaluation Scores<b></td></tr>"
  ."<tr><td><p>Assign an Average of 10 points to your other members of your team (ie NOT including yourself.) You should assign a total of 40 points for a five-member team or 50 points for a six-member team.  The minimum possible score for a team member is 7 and the maximum possible score is 13.  Assign scores to reflect how you feel about the extent to which the other member contributed to your learning and/or your teams performance.  This is an opportunity to reward the members of your teamn who actually worked hard on your behalf.  </p></td>";
  echo"<tr><td><b>Providing Helpful Feedback Comments<b></td></tr>"

$grouptotal = $db->sql_numrows($countgroupmembers);
if ($grouptotal = 7) {
$Total_Points = 60;

$Total_Points = 40;
}

echo "<tr><td align='left'> Total Points Must = $Total_Points</td>";

  echo"</table>";
  echo"</form>"; 
CloseTable();
include("footer.php");
}


The TLInsertPeerEvals function will handle all the inserts to the database.

Tellii, been awhile... are you interested in doing some freelance work again?

The evalscore is the one your trying to add up with Javascript and you want its value to show up where $SUM_Points is correct? You want the value to show there without refreshing the page?

Nice to see you around... I am always up for side work but you will have to wait in line.

The evalscore and evalcomment have to get changed to a distinct name. I would suggest adding the UID on the end of them. So for example:


while($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($getgroupmembers)) {
$SOMS_KEY = $row['SOMS_KEY'];
$UID = $row['UID'];
$Name_First = $row['Name_First'];
$Name_Last = $row['Name_Last'];
echo"<tr>"
    ."<td align='center'>&nbsp;$Name_First $Name_Last &nbsp;</td>"
    ."<td>"
    ."<select name='evalscore_$UID'>"
    ."<option value='7' selected>7</option>"
   ."<option value='8'>8</option>"
   ."<option value='9'>9</option>"
   ."<option value='10'>10</option>"
   ."<option value='11'>11</option>"
   ."<option value='12'>12</option>"
   ."<option value='13'>13</option>"
   ."</select>"
   ."</td>"   
    ."<td align='left'><textarea name ='evalcomment_$UID' cols='100' colspan='1' rows='2'></textarea></td>"   
    ."</tr>";
}


Here is some javascript to add up the total points and an example of it working:


<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function sum_points() {
   var selectBox = document.getElementsByTagName('select');
   var total = 0;
   for(i=0; i<selectBox.length; i++) {
      total += Number(selectBox[i].options[selectBox[i].selectedIndex].value);
   }
   document.getElementById('total_points').innerHTML = 'Total Points: ' + total;
}
window.onload = sum_points;
//]]>
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form style="margin: 0px;">

I don't understand the need for:

<label for="evalscore_1">Points:</label> <select id="evalscore_1" name="evalscore_1" onchange="sum_points();">
   
<label for="evalcomment_1">Comment:</label> <textarea id="evalcomment_1" name="evalcomment_1" cols="60" rows="2"></textarea>
...
<label for="evalscore_2">Points:</label> <select id="evalscore_2" name="evalscore_2" onchange="sum_points();">
 
<label for="evalcomment_2">Comment:</label> <textarea id="evalcomment_2" name="evalcomment_2" cols="60" rows="2"></textarea>
...

<label for="evalscore_3">Points:</label> <select id="evalscore_3" name="evalscore_3" onchange="sum_points();">
   
<label for="evalcomment_3">Comment:</label> <textarea id="evalcomment_3" name="evalcomment_3" cols="60" rows="2"></textarea>
...

<label for="evalscore_4">Points:</label> <select id="evalscore_4" name="evalscore_4" onchange="sum_points();">

etc


I don't know how many rows I need cause I won't know who many members will be in a group. I could have anywhere from 5 - 7 in a group.

The need for what? You have a points dropdown and a comment textarea correct? Thats all I added. Its just an example of correct XHTML (strict).

No. I started working on another area of the system. Letting it stew in my head before I address it again. Could still use your help with some freelance work if your interested.

As you can tell I don't have a clue what I'm doing with javascript. I found two examples I am going off of trying to put something together.

It won't let me post my examples. html tags not allowed.
