Functional Spec

The system will perform some action when a field is filled in on the questionnaire. The actions which can be performed are:

Which of these options are used (and which particular resource - sound/image/movie) depends on whether a particular field on the form (usually the field being altered) contains a particular keyword or not. For instance, if you have nominated "Gomez" for best band, you might want to play a cheer, but it someone enters Steps, you might want to play a Boo sound.

To facilitate the re-use of this code, the scripts can be configured using a simple mechanism involving registering "rules". E.g.: 

add_rule("q1","","gomez","image","good.gif");
(this says to display the "good.gif" image when the field called q1 contains the string "gomez").
