Ok I have I am by far no JS guru, but I am trying. Well I have a form that has like 20 or so check boxes, and when that form submits (back to itself) it returns answers based on the questions that have the box checked. I have got that to work but I cant get the answers to keep the same order as the questions they seem to randomly do what they want :(…Here is the JS I am using.
this is in one .js file. (each “var” represents the name of the checkbox and is in the same order that they appear on the form. Each initial value is set to “on”)
Please help… I basically just need the results to be in the same order as the form/array.

this.slist = new Array();

this.payroll3 = "<strong>Question 3 will go here?</strong><p>Answer goes here</p>";
this.policy1 = "<strong>Question 4 will go here?</strong><p>Answer goes here</p>";
this.policy2 = "<strong>Question 5 will go here?</strong><p>Answer goes here</p>";
