It is a real solution, but I believe it's unacceptable due to:

1. it is unacceptable to rely a functinality on client-side script. That's not only a theory - I had to learn the hard way, that Javascript is here only to help you, not actually do important things.
2. It wouldn't be fair to let the user fill the form and then tell him he has to pass a test

As for 2. point, we have it for years like this:

1. Information about registration process
2. Rules (like Terms&Conditions, must accept)
3. Regitering form
4. Info page (could be replace by info mail, which is better)

I'm sorry if I am confusing you with my approach, but it took years to learn the best way to handle this and there's no point to roll back.
But I believe I can manage this, only thing is I will have to alter CB files...

I will let you know about my progress and I am still appritiating any comments, as they help me to learn more [about CB, Joomla,...]

Thanks,

I did not mean client side validation. Just show the test, user fills in fiels, use JS to write the input to one hidden field and validate on server side.

You can make a form for the test, then put the result in the session, hack CB to not accept registration or show the form before there is a passign result in the profile.

I am slowly progressing. I made a small compnent (com_reg) for Joomla, which is only a page which checks for a agreement on Code of Rules (previous page) and displays questions and answers from database. I put them into DB hoping I'll be to add Joom!Fish support and possibly a administration module as well, if smb. else would liket to reuse it and configure it.
Anyway, learning Joomla code is very difficult, as the documentation is very basic, so I'm advancing very slowly, having problems with patTemplates & stuff like this.
www.sub-club.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=24&Itemid=67

I finished the component. It works with no problem. I'm using Joomla content (blog) for first two pages (Info & Code of Rules), in the last is a small form - if users agrees to Code of Rules, he's forwarded to com_reg component, which displays him a test (in the selected language, if translation available /by Joom!Fish/). Then the test is evaluated and if succesful, the user is forwarded to CB "registers" form, where he can complete registration. I changed the "Register" link in CB login module so it points to my added "Info" page (start of registration).
I'm thinking about adding a hidden value to the last test ("if succesful") page and adding "if not defined then die" stuff into CB "registers" page.
