please use CODE tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

if (form1.question.value == "") {
  alert("Please fill in appropriately");
  return false;
}

if (form1.question.value == form1.answer1.value ) {
  mark++;
}else{
  return false;
}

HTTP is a stateless protocol, therefore you cannot simply carry values over from one page to another without using storage on the server or client. Without using server-side code, you are left to use cookies for storing and retrieving the mark information. So, you will create/set the cookie on page A and retrieve/update the cookie on page B, C, etc.

Google: JavaScript cookies - there are tons of examples out there

p.s. I meant use the CODE tags when you post here... so your source code will be more readable and copyable (see how my source code looks in my first reply).
