How can I use the CSS hidden property to redirect to a new page?

so I’ve coded a questionnaire and I’m running into an issue. When a user clicks submit the questionnaire the results are displayed near the submit button I was hoping for them to be redirected to a new page (where results are displayed) by using the CSS hidden property, but I don’t understand how I can do that and also for some reason after submitting there is an ‘undefined’ option displaying under the choices, how can I get rid of that? I’d really appreciate it if someone can help me solve my issues, thank you!

I linked the IDE for my project if that’s easier: https://repl.it/@AS11RA/Forest-Firefighters-Website#start%20questionnaire.js

Heres the startquestionnaire.Js file:

function buttonClicked(button) {
  button.style.visibility = 'hidden';
  startSurvey();
  console.log('Survey started.');
}

function startSurvey() {
  var i;
  var j;
  var k;
  for (i = 0; i < ourQuestions.length; i++) {
    document.getElementById('questions').innerHTML +=
      '<form id="question">Q' + (i + 1) + ': ' + ourQuestions[i].question;
    debugger;
    for (let [key, value] of Object.entries(ourQuestions[i].answers)) {
      document.forms[i].innerHTML +=
        '</div><div class="answer"><input name="q1" value="' +
        value +
        '" id="value4" type="checkbox" />' +
        `${key}: '${value}'`; //use a string literal, makes a dev's life very easy
      ('<br/>');
    }
    document.getElementById('questions').innerHTML += '</form><br/><br/>';
  }

  document.getElementById('questions').innerHTML +=
    '<button class="button" onclick="solveSurvey()">Submit Questionnaire</button>';
}

Answer

If we store your results in its own variable, we then have 2 options right off the bat.

var results = `Correct answers: ${correct}`;
  

Easiest way would be to display it in an alert function, let the browser handle it.

alert(results);

Another way would be to spawn your own window and edit the html contents of it.

var resultsWin = window.open("about:blank", "Questionnaire Results", "width=200,height=100");
resultsWin.document.write(results);

Keep in mind that the opening of the window will not work in the snippet due to this:

js:253 Blocked opening 'about:blank' in a new window because the request was made in a sandboxed frame whose 'allow-popups' permission is not set.

The reason for the undefined was because your appending of the answers was using the inside for loop j but it existed in just the outer one, with no access to j

I went ahead and replaced it to this:

x.innerHTML += `<div class="answer"><input name="q1" value="${ourQuestions[i].correctAnswer}" id="value4" type="radio" />${ourQuestions[i].correctAnswer}</div>`;

function buttonClicked(button) {
  button.style.visibility = 'hidden';
  startSurvey();
  console.log('Survey started.');
}

function startSurvey() {
  var i, j, k;
  for (i = 0; i < ourQuestions.length; i++) {
    document.getElementById('questions').innerHTML += '<form id="question">Q' + (i + 1) + ': ' + ourQuestions[i].question;
    for (let [key, value] of Object.entries(ourQuestions[i].answers)) {
      document.forms[i].innerHTML += `<div class="answer"><input name="q1" value="${value}" id="value4" type="checkbox" />${key}: '${value}'</div>`;
    }
    document.getElementById('questions').innerHTML += '</form><br/><br/>';
  }

  document.getElementById('questions').innerHTML +=
    '<button class="button" onclick="solveSurvey()">Submit Questionnaire</button>';
