 * So far I have over 300 respondents to my survey. I can see all of their answers
   in the back end but there seems to be no way to download this data without going
   to view source and then attempting to pull all of the code and then extract data
   from there which is exceedingly time consuming (about 5 minutes per respondent)
   with the number of respondents I have it would take over 25 man hours of work
   to extract the data. This issue is compounded by the fact that everyday I have
   dozens more respondents so it will be near impossible to catch up.
 * Your code can obviously parse the data to be able to put it in the admin section
   in those accordions. I’m sure you would be able to add a section below the results
   accordions that shows the data in csv format without being a csv file. I am trying
   to get that to work now, but not being a professional coder I’m not sure how 
   long it will take, nor if I will be successful in my attempt.

 * BY CSV FORMAT I MEAN THE FOLLOWING FORMAT WHERE
    Q= Question R= Respondent A=
   Answer
 * Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5
    R1A1, R1A2, R1A3, R1A4, R1A5 R2A1, R2A2, R2A3, R2A4, R2A5
   R3A1, R3A2, R3A3, R3A4, R3A5 R4A1, R4A2, R4A3, R4A4, R4A5 R5A1, R5A2, R5A3, R5A4,
   R5A5
 * You can have that output as plain text on the page or in a text area if you are
   worried about layout.
 * You already have the data in the code, this should not be a difficult thing for
   you since you wrote it in the first place. Like I said before, I am not a coder,
   so I will try to make it work, but I doubt I will be successful. Please make 
   this a reality.
