public class RandomizeQuestionOrder
extends QuestionContainerTagStub

Randomizes the order of questions.
RandomizeQuestionOrder go inside a set of Survey tags, and you put a bunch of Question tags inside of it. Then it will randomize the order that those questions appear in the survey every time someone visits the page.

 So, for example,
 <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/SurveyTags.tld" prefix="survey" %>.
 <survey:survey databaseName="databaseName" table="tableName" >.
 <survey:randomizeQuestionOrder>.
     <survey:textQuestion question="Question A" dbField="fieldNameInTableNameA"/>.
     <survey:textQuestion question="Question B" dbField="fieldNameInTableNameB"/>.
 </survey:randomizeQuestionOrder>.
 </survey:survey>.
 

Sometimes this will look like this:

Question A
Question B

And sometimes like this:

Question B
Question A
