JavaScript can't do that.
You need a server-side language if you also want to keep the info for yourself. JavaScript runs on the client's machine, and can't normally affect files on the server.
Also, collecting the IP address might be futile. Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) now create random IP addresses, to prevent security and spam problems.
- ok, understood -
While I'm competely new at this I'm taking on enough information to think about simply bailing out, but if I understand correctly the usefulness of the questionaire to the host, or regulated body, or site that publishes it and collects results is down to user information that although private is something a person has to accede they are committing with their use of the internet - my specific concern is that they cannot falsify so much information that they have the 'run of the shop' & are accessing anything they choose... If the host says you go no further without accurate and true details of your identity then it's feasible you end up looking at adverts and linking around in circles until the details provided from your computer to the server are verifiable...?
In so saying, this questionaire would be well placed and as clearly presented as it is, could suddenly seem like entrapment - that's because it is to snap the fingers of alertness and wake something inside a person who should then slough off the 'old me' and refresh their efforts specifically with regard to the web and where they go on it.
They are not trick questions but they are designed to simply put you in the 'position of trust' only when you've scored full marks and for most people answering these questions that would mean stretching the truth - it can be regarded as fun though and in the same way the fingers of alertness snap you out of the implication it was anything else....
It is therefore important to collect user information because people taking the test again are becoming conditioned and more mentally agile towards the questions and people who think they are above it are taking an issue up with some words, so some of their details collected on their behalf as the only thing they will end up at odds with is a far better way of resolving any matter arising.
It would be a shame to learn that not one scrap of user information collected is valid, the internet is born from the scientific community's network in a bid to expedite the sharing of information and so speed progress in any endeavour - the first being self-discovery in this relatively new place....
Please advise
