Reply To: How can I gather URL parameters to use in a pie chart?

[DavisB]

One last question. I’m trying to get the average of 3 questions values from the users radio button selection. Each section on the survey I’m making has 3 questions with 5 answers to choose from. Each answer has a value associated with it that I gather from the URL. Is it a way I can separate the answers out by threes, add them up and average them out to get the value I need to show on the pie chart.

I’ll try to show a snippet of my code that I have so

<div id=”physical_group” class=”group”>
<h3 class=”group_title”>Physical</h3>
<ul class=”responce_header”>
<li>Never</li>
<li>Rarely</li>
<li>Sometimes</li>

<li>Always</li>
</ul>
