Usage: shortcode

If you would like to display the form via a shortcode, you can use the following shortcode:

Advanced usage

If the form has been submitted, a hidden input field value with a class 'wdevs-psi-input-result' will be set with the new score and a JavaScript 'change' event will fired. So, you could watch the result with something like this (jQuery example):

jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery('.wdevs-psi-input-result').change(function(){
var result = jQuery(this).val();
});
});

Please see demo #4.
