well like many things this has a variable answer...
but what I think you will need to do is write a script that gets the
correct answer (I would use ajax calls to server so the answer can not
be seen in the browser code)
then set an event on the submit button that cycles through your radio
buttons for the correct answer easiest way to do that is add a class
to each and do something sorta like..
//outside a function (before your document.ready as well)
var correctanswer;
//somewhere set the value of correctanwser
$('.your_class').each(
function(){
var temp_val = $('.your_class').val();
var temp_id = $('.your_class').attrib('id');
if(temp_val=='selected'){
if(temp_id == correctanswer){
//code for correct answer here
}
else{
//code for wrong answer here
}
}
)
