Quiz App using HTML, CSS and JavaScript (Source Code) – Coding Torque

Share your love

Welcome to Coding Torque, fellow coders! In today’s blog post, we will be embarking on a journey to create a quiz application using the web development technologies of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Specifically, we will be using pure JavaScript (also known as “vanilla” JavaScript) to create, display, and check the questions and answers of our quiz. Whether you’re a seasoned developer looking to brush up on your skills or a beginner excited to learn something new, this tutorial has something for everyone. So grab your favorite beverage and let’s get started!

Before we start, here are some JavaScript Games you might like to create:

1.Ā Snake Game using JavaScript

2.Ā 2D Bouncing Ball Game using JavaScript

3.Ā Rock Paper Scissor Game using JavaScript

4.Ā Tic Tac Toe Game using JavaScript

5. Whack a Mole Game using JavaScript

 

I would recommend you don’t just copy and paste the code, just look at the code and type by understanding it.

 

HTML CodeĀ 

Starter Template

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <!-- Required meta tags -->
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <!-- CSS -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

    <title>Quiz App using JavaScript - @code.scientist x @codingtorque</title>
</head>

<body>
    <!-- Further code here -->

    <script src="script.js"></script>
</body>

</html>

 

Paste the below code in your <body> tag

<div class="start-screen">
    <button id="start-button">Start</button>
</div>
<div id="display-container">
    <div class="header">
        <div class="number-of-count">
            <span class="number-of-question">1 of 3 questions</span>
        </div>
        <div class="timer-div">
            <img src="https://uxwing.com/wp-content/themes/uxwing/download/time-and-date/stopwatch-icon.png"
                width="20px" />
            <span class="time-left">10s</span>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div id="container">
        <!-- questions and options will be displayed here -->
    </div>
    <button id="next-button">Next</button>
</div>
<div class="score-container hide">
    <div id="user-score">Demo Score</div>
    <button id="restart">Restart</button>
</div>
