In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of building a quiz app using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. We will cover the following topics:<\/p>\n
By the end of this tutorial, you will have a fully functional quiz app that you can customize and use for your own purposes.<\/p>\n
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:<\/p>\n
To start building our quiz app, we need to set up the basic HTML structure. Open your code editor and create a new HTML file. Let’s name it In the Inside the Next, we will add a container to hold the quiz questions and answers. Add a Now that we have set up the basic HTML structure, let’s style our quiz app using CSS. Create a new CSS file called Inside Save both Now that we have set up the basic structure and styling of our app, let’s move on to creating the quiz questions and answers.<\/p>\n Inside the container Inside the Next, we will add the answer options for each question. Inside the Inside the Save your changes and preview Now that we have created the quiz questions and answers, let’s implement the scoring system and feedback mechanism.<\/p>\n First, we need to keep track of the user’s selected answer for each question. Add a new Next, create a new JavaScript file called Inside You can customize the number of questions, answer options, and correct answers to fit your specific quiz requirements.<\/p>\n Next, we will use JavaScript to dynamically populate the quiz questions and answer options inside the HTML.

If the answer is correct, the score is incremented by one.<\/p>\n The Save your changes and preview Congratulations! You have successfully built a quiz app using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You can further customize the app by adding more quiz questions and answer options, styling the app to match your branding, and adding additional features like timers or leaderboards.<\/p>\n Feel free to experiment with the code and add your own creative touches to the quiz app. Happy coding!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How to Build a Quiz App with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of building a quiz app using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

index.html<\/code> file, start by adding the HTML doctype declaration and the opening and closing
<html><\/code> tags. Inside the
<html><\/code> tags, add the
<head><\/code> and
<body><\/code> tags.<\/p>\n
<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n <title>Quiz App<\/title>\n<\/head>\n<body>\n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n

Styling the app with CSS<\/h2>\n
style.css<\/code> and link it to your HTML file by adding the following
<link><\/code> tag inside the
<head><\/code> tag of
index.html<\/code>.<\/p>\n
<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n <title>Quiz App<\/title>\n <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"style.css\">\n<\/head>\n<body>\n <!-- HTML code goes here -->\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
style.css<\/code>, let’s start by adding some basic styles to our app. We will center align the text, set a maximum width for the container, and add some padding and margin to give it some spacing.<\/p>\n
body {\n text-align: center;\n}\n\n.container {\n max-width: 600px;\n margin: 0 auto;\n padding: 20px;\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
index.html<\/code> and
style.css<\/code> files and open
index.html<\/code> in your web browser. You should see the app title centered on the page with some spacing around it.<\/p>\n
Creating the quiz questions and answers<\/h2>\n
<div><\/code> tag, add a
<div><\/code> element with a class name of
question<\/code>. This element will display the current quiz question.<\/p>\n
<div class=\"container\">\n <div class=\"question\">\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
question<\/code>
<div><\/code>, add an
<h2><\/code> tag to display the question text.<\/p>\n
<div class=\"container\">\n <div class=\"question\">\n <h2>Question Text<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n

<ul><\/code>, add a
<li><\/code> element for each answer option. Add a
<label><\/code> element inside each
<li><\/code>, followed by an
<input type=\"radio\"><\/code> element. The
<label><\/code> will display the answer text, and the
<input><\/code> will allow users to select an answer.<\/p>\n
<div class=\"container\">\n <div class=\"question\">\n <h2>Question Text<\/h2>\n <ul class=\"options\">\n <li>\n <label>\n <input type=\"radio\">\n Answer 1\n <\/label>\n <\/li>\n <li>\n <label>\n <input type=\"radio\">\n Answer 2\n <\/label>\n <\/li>\n <li>\n <label>\n <input type=\"radio\">\n Answer 3\n <\/label>\n <\/li>\n <li>\n <label>\n <input type=\"radio\">\n Answer 4\n <\/label>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n

<script><\/code> tag at the bottom of
index.html<\/code> to add JavaScript code to handle the quiz functionality.<\/p>\n
<script src=\"script.js\"><\/script>\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
script.js<\/code>. This is where we will write the JavaScript code to handle the quiz functionality.<\/p>\n
script.js<\/code>, let’s start by defining an array of objects to store the quiz questions and answer options. Each object in the array will represent a question and its associated answer options.<\/p>\n
const quizData = [\n {\n question: \"Question 1\",\n options: [\"Answer 1\", \"Answer 2\", \"Answer 3\", \"Answer 4\"],\n answer: 1\n },\n {\n question: \"Question 2\",\n options: [\"Answer 1\", \"Answer 2\", \"Answer 3\", \"Answer 4\"],\n answer: 2\n },\n \/\/ Add more questions here\n];\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
script.js<\/code> file.<\/p>\n
const questionContainer = document.querySelector(\".question\");\nconst optionsContainer = document.querySelector(\".options\");\nlet currentQuestion = 0;\n\nfunction showQuestion() {\n const question = quizData[currentQuestion];\n questionContainer.innerHTML = `<h2>${question.question}<\/h2>`;\n\n let optionsHtml = \"\";\n question.options.forEach((option, index) => {\n optionsHtml += `\n <li>\n <label>\n <input type=\"radio\" name=\"option\" value=\"${index}\">\n ${option}\n <\/label>\n <\/li>\n `;\n });\n\n optionsContainer.innerHTML = optionsHtml;\n}\n\nshowQuestion();\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
showQuestion()<\/code> function retrieves the current question object from the
quizData<\/code> array and dynamically updates the HTML with the question and answer options.<\/p>\n
index.html<\/code> in your web browser. You should see the first question and its answer options displayed on the page.<\/p>\n
Adding interactivity with JavaScript<\/h2>\n
container<\/code>
<div><\/code>, add a
<div><\/code> element with a class name of
actions<\/code>. Inside the
actions<\/code>
<div><\/code>, add a
<button><\/code> element with the text “Submit”.<\/p>\n
<div class=\"container\">\n <div class=\"question\">\n <h2>Question Text<\/h2>\n <ul class=\"options\">\n <!-- Answer options go here -->\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"actions\">\n <button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
script.js<\/code>, add the following code.<\/p>\n
const submitButton = document.querySelector(\".submit\");\nlet score = 0;\n\nsubmitButton.addEventListener(\"click\", () => {\n const selectedOption = optionsContainer.querySelector(\"input[name='option']:checked\");\n\n if (selectedOption) {\n const selectedAnswer = parseInt(selectedOption.value);\n\n if (selectedAnswer === quizData[currentQuestion].answer) {\n score++;\n }\n\n currentQuestion++;\n\n if (currentQuestion < quizData.length) {\n showQuestion();\n } else {\n showResult();\n }\n }\n});\n\nfunction showResult() {\n questionContainer.innerHTML = `<h2>You have completed the quiz!<\/h2>`;\n optionsContainer.innerHTML = `<p>Your score: ${score}\/${quizData.length}<\/p>`;\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
currentQuestion<\/code> variable is then incremented, and if there are remaining questions, the
showQuestion()<\/code> function is called to display the next question. If there are no more questions, the
showResult()<\/code> function is called to display the final score.<\/p>\n
index.html<\/code> in your web browser. You should be able to submit answers and see the score and completion message at the end of the quiz.<\/p>\n
