I want to shrink my code & make it reusable - 3/14/2009 15:16:42

I have an online questionnaire with many questions, but rather than forver typing all teh form code can it be shortened & if so how please.
Here's an excerpt



<%
const qemployee1 = "did you have a company car?"
const qemployee2 = "do you receive other benefits from your employer?"
const qemployee3 = "do you contribute to a pension from your salary?"
const qemployee4 = "have you changed jobs this tax year?"
const qemployee5 = "do you have more than one job?"

const leftcol = "<tr><td class='left'>"
const midcol = "</td><td class='right'>"
const rightcol = "</td></tr>"


%>

<% 
question = qemployee1
inputfield = "employee1"
response.write leftcol & question & midcol & " yes <input name='" & inputfield & "' type='radio' value='1' /> no <input name='" & inputfield & "' type='radio' value='0' checked />" & rightcol

question = qemployee2
inputfield = "employee2"
response.write leftcol & question & midcol & " yes <input name='" & inputfield & "' type='radio' value='1' /> no <input name='" & inputfield & "' type='radio' value='0' checked />" & rightcol

question = qemployee3
inputfield = "employee3"
response.write leftcol & question & midcol & " yes <input name='" & inputfield & "' type='radio' value='1' /> no <input name='" & inputfield & "' type='radio' value='0' checked />" & rightcol

question = qemployee4
inputfield = "employee4"
response.write leftcol & question & midcol & " yes <input name='" & inputfield & "' type='radio' value='1' /> no <input name='" & inputfield & "' type='radio' value='0' checked />" & rightcol

question = qemployee5
inputfield = "employee5"
response.write leftcol & question & midcol & " yes <input name='" & inputfield & "' type='radio' value='1' /> no <input name='" & inputfield & "' type='radio' value='0' checked />" & rightcol

%>

basically I want to be able to feed the parameters into a subroutine (or something) and have it display the info , so something like

response.write yesnoquestion

where yesnoquestion generates the code to be used.

... and if you were being really clever create a loop which changes the number fo rthe variable to be used!

Any ideas?

You could use an array perhaps?
That would loop through the array until it reaches a specified count.

qemployee(0) = "did you have a company car?"
qemployee(1) = "do you receive other benefits from your employer?"
etc......


For i = 0 to maxcount(of array)

response.write leftcol & question(i) & midcol & " yes <input name='" & inputfield(i) & "' type='radio' value='1' /> no <input name='" & inputfield(i) & "' type='radio' value='0' checked />" & rightcol

Next
