Re Stephen Bullivant's request for help with software, I asked David Voas for comment - many of you will remember his excellent presentation at the Bristol conference last year. He has replied with some information which may be of general interest:

Some universities make web survey software and services available, e.g.
at Manchester:

http://ict.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/web/communications/onlinesurvey/index.html

http://ict.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/training/resources/web/survey.html

At the LSE:

http://websurveys.lse.ac.uk/surveys/

I suggest that you ask the helpdesk in your own IT department for
guidance.

There are periodically courses such as:

http://www.socstats.soton.ac.uk/cass/courses0203/websurvdesign.html

and it might be worth contacting the tutor or organiser for further
information.

The feature Stephen mentions is common (so-called adaptive testing) and
I would expect it to be available in standard packages.

Good luck!

David
