External .js file execution

[mb]

Hi,

I picked up this JavaScript code (quiz code) at:
http://javascript.internet.com/miscellaneous/multiple-choice-quiz.html

and modified it (and may have deleted some line I shouldn't have) so
that it looks like this on my web site:

http://www.goalseek.net/Scripts/qa_XL_History.htm

Can someone explain to me why the external files produce on the .htm
page only partially what they are supposed to produce? The code works
just fine if I have 3 questions in the external file, but as soon as I
add a fourth one or more, the .htm page always shows only 4 questions
with the fourth one truncated with only 2 multiple-choice answers.
The arrays and the loops appear OK to me in the external .js files. So,
what's wrong? Your expertise will mightily be appreciated.

In the .htm file, these tags point to the external .js files in the
same directory as the .htm file:

<script text/javascript src="quiz_functions.js"></script>
<script text/javascript src="qa_XL_History.js"></script>

The qa_XL_History.js code is this ..... :

[...]

questions[3]="4) Statement number 4";
choices[3]=new Array();
choices[3][0]="Incorrect answer";
choices[3][1]="Incorrect answer";
Choices[3][2]="Correct answer";
Choices[3][3]="Incorrect answer";
answers[3]=choices[3][2];

Javascript is case-sensitive. Typing "Choices" where it is expecting
"choices" is going to break something.

Yes indeed. Thanks Lee.
