Ah, CBTs, one of my favourite topics... I could bore you for hours:-)
Assuming you mean a SAT-style complete-the-sequence puzzle - You will probably need one table with min 6 flds (5 for the URLs of the of Answer GIFs, and 1 for indicating which is the correct ans). You will need 2 ASPs, the Question Server will take a single param and do an ADO lookup for the appropriate record, pulling the URLs from the table to set the SRC for the IMGs. You will need to give a unique ID to the target DIV. Then extend the onmouseup handler to check the SRC of the Target DIV IMG, and set a hidden input appropriately. The Answer ASP will use this input to determine if the answer was accurate.
For further clarifications contact me at bugsnest@hotmail.com, or my ICQ no. 37922029.

I've had a request from a teacher at my son's elementary school for a drag-and-drop application to be used as a learning aid. I'd be interested in ideas how to expand these scripts to work in an ASP environment with a MS Access database. This way the teacher could set up several pattern matching-style puzzles in advance and the application could check the student's answers.
