<script>
var examWizard = $.fn.examWizard({
formSelector: "#new-examwizard-question",
});
</script>
-
Wrapper

Question Field most be write with this rule:
a. data-alternatetype: this data attribute has an field type.(required). b. data-alternateName: this data attribute has an alternate name, this is useful to keep field name without any update, its useful if you need to update old form, use in cms or fremwork, alternateName most has value like this rule "answer[question-number - 1]" so that if we on question 1 thats mean alternateName="answerd[0]".(required) c. data-alternateValue: this data attribute has an alternate value for field, its useful on quick access menu, its will be display a readable value for user, for example if field value is 1 and data-alternateValue="A" then the displayed value will be is "A" not "1".(Optional) -
#currentQuestionNumber field is an hidden field save current question number, init value = 1.
-
#totalOfQuestion field is an hidden field save total of question number, its most set to can be groubing question. (in this example we has an 18 question, so that exam-wizard will handling 18 question only.

<!-- Quick Access Html Template -->
<div class="col-xs-3" id="quick-access-section">
<table> <!-- You can use table, or any other html tag like div, spans..etc -->
<tr class="question-response-rows" data-question="1">
<td>1</td>
<td class="question-response-rows-value">-</td>
</tr>
<tr class="question-response-rows" data-question="2">
<td>2</td>
<td class="question-response-rows-value">-</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div class="col-xs-12">
<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="btn btn-success" id="quick-access-prev">< Back</a>
<span class="alert alert-info" id="quick-access-info"></span>
<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="btn btn-success" id="quick-access-next">Next ></a>
</div>
</div>
The main item in quick Access is:
A) #quick-access-section in div wrapper. B) .question-response-rows this class required in every row in quick access, and data-question is required too, its has an question number.
C) .question-response-rows-value this class has an value for each question, defualt value when nothing select is "-".
D) .quick-access-prev is quick access class to do back action if we groubing rows(like screen shot)
E) .quick-access-next is quick access class to do next action if we groubing rows(like screen shot)
F) #quick-access-info This selector will has an information about quick access page number of total like 1/2(look at screen shot).

quickAccessPagerItem: 'Full',// Number of rows in quick access, by default is full and you can send your number like 9
quickAccessInfoSeperator:'/',// the sperator for quick access information the default is /. (1/2)
quickAccessDefaultRowVal:'-', // Default Row Value when value is empty
quickAccessRowValSeparator: ', ', // Default Value Sperator for multible value
nextCallBack :function(){}, // CallBack Function when click on next quick access callBack
prevCallBack :function(){}, // CallBack Function when click on prev quick access callBack
}
});
Its an button used to display marked link on quick access, its easy way to let user to back to question if he like to update, or answer.
<!-- Mark Button Template -->
<div class="mark-unmark-wrapper" data-question="1">
<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="mark-question btn btn-success" data-question="1">
