Sorry! The trouble with doing a memory test is the vast number of ways that you can type a valid answer. The company I work for, <a href="http://www.ideaworks.com/" rel="nofollow">Ideaworks</a>, runs an essay grading service called <a href="http://www.sagrader.com/" rel="nofollow">SAGrader</a>, which performs this feat, and it's quite an involved process. Definitely possible, and SAGrader does a great job of extracting student answers from unstructured text, but let's just say that it's more complicated than I care to implement in Javascript.

i’d like to try vixta, but my laptop only has a cd-rom and not dvd-rom :(

i could prob. create a bootable usb drive, but it seems like a lot of work, and i’m not sooo technically minded.
