The asynchronous call idea is a great one if you can work it out. Here's an article that may come in handy for that.<br />

Otherwise there's always the old page refresh every time they answer a question. You could handle the ugly aesthetics of that concept by doing 1 question per page with a next button.<br />

I used to work at a company that wrote LMS's (learning management systems) for large companies and if I remember correctly, we wrote all of our tests one question per page.

 I have a test generator that students take test with. It puts the questions in a list format and they answer each. The problem is if they get disconnected from the network and hit submit they lose all their work. <br />
<br />
Maybe, save each question as its answered through an asynchronous call somehow? store them locally somehow? Suggestions on a good approach?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

ColdFusion is a server-side rapid application development platform originally created by Allaire and now sold by Adobe, implementing the dynamic general purpose CFML programming language. The term ColdFusion is sometimes colloquially used to refer to the CFML language (Cold Fusion Markup Language), but can also include discussions of the server software implementation. ColdFusion runs using a customised version of Apache Tomcat. Earlier versions are bundled with JRun.
