I hope this is possible with scripting. But having read the tutorials on scripting, I feel overwhelmed by it, it's kind of difficult for me to understand it

So, in the Quiz game i am making, if the player clicks a wrong answer, the fail count is increased by 1, and that answer becomes unclicable (because I have set the link limit to 1 and made it visible when unactive). However, it would be really useful if I could also change the color of the unactive link to red, and maybe change it's text (so it would add '- WRONG' to it

The way I'd do it, which is probably a little tedious, is by having a variable for each incorrect answer separately, which is set to 1 if the link is clicked. Then, if that particular variable is 1, changing the specific $LINKTEXT# (numbered based on the order of the links on a specific page, so the first link is $LINKTEXT1, the second is $LINKTEXT2, etc.) for that page. Something like:

IF %WRONG1 = 1 THEN BEGIN
$LINKTEXT1 := "<span style='color:red;'>" + $LINKTEXT1
$LINKTEXT1 := $LINKTEXT1 + " - WRONG</span>"
END

Which would, if the variable %WRONG1 is equal to 1, alter the text of the first link on the page, beginning a red-colored span HTML element in front, then appending " - WRONG" to the end and closing the span element. You'll need to have a block of code like this for every possible wrong link.

Well, i have tried doing it for one link, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Am i not understanding something about script usage?

I see that scripts can be attached to a link, or to the page. So where should i add this? To every link?

This particular one would go in a page script. Also, make sure you're using the proper link number and variable.

I'm not very good at this stuff. 

You're on Safari, aren't you? No one besides you can see whatever image you're posting. You need to upload it to an image hosting site first.

Oh......sorry.

Yep, it works perfectly now, thanks for the info :)

Nice! Glad to help.
