Hi,
I play a game online, and each year we have a tournament to declare the best "fighter" in the game. Granted, it is a text-based game, so fighting is rather simplistic, but, nonetheless...
To be run alongside this tournament, which we call the Goat Cup, I had created a second competition: The Goat Cup Predictor. Each entrant would attempt to "predict" who will win each round of the Goat Cup. The person who correctly predicted the most rounds, would be declared the winner.
Now, that said, I put fairly detailed instructions on how this is supposed to be done. For example, in this tournament format, two people advance from each qualifying round, so the entrant is to choose two DIFFERENT people from each qualifying round. The person they select for Wild Card is supposed to be someone who they hadn't already selected to win his or her qualifying round. And the people they select to win quarter-finals should have been selected to win either their qualifying round or the Wild Card round. The people they select to win in semi-finals should be people they also selected to win in quarter-finals. And the person they select to win in finals should be a person they selected to win in semi-finals.
Anyway, much to my dismay, many people failed to follow these instructions. So, I've decided that for next year, I would like to use JavaScript to make sure that everyone fills in their entries properly. This will be done by populating future pull-down menus based on previous pull-down menus. Unfortunately, I have no idea how I would go about doing this.
I really only know HTML, and nothing more in the way of programming.
If you would like to view the HTML site used for this year, it's available at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://beam.to/GCpredictor/predictor.html">http://beam.to/GCpredictor/predictor.html</a><!-- m -->
Thank you for your help!
