Adding a sentence before displaying statements

Karishma1486

Hi Everyone,
I have created a side by side type of question. Before the options to the respondent I would like to add a common statement which connects to rest of the following options.
For eg.
Q. To what extent do you agree with each of the following statements, in terms of the challenges your firm faces in a country? (Please select one option from the drop-down menu for each question)

Relative to the competitors...
Our firm faces costs of advertising (drop-down list of strongly disagree- agree)
Our firm faces transportation costs (drop-down list as above )
Our firm receives biased treatment by consumers (drop-down list as above)

My query is How do I insert "Relative to the competitors..." as a sentence and not have drop down scales displayed for it. Is there a way?

Attached is an example of another question where I am struggling to find how to insert a common overarching sentence

To accomplish what is shown in the attached image, you can use the below code:
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" select option:first-child").text("Choose an item").prop("selected",true);

Try the below code,
jQuery('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('td:gt(1)').css('visibility','hidden')

//OR
jQuery('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('td').css('visibility','hidden')

//OR As per the no. of columns, below there are 3
jQuery('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS1').css('visibility','hidden')
jQuery('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS2').css('visibility','hidden')
jQuery('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS3').css('visibility','hidden')

Thanks for your response. The code worked perfectly when I turned on the preview mobile view. But unable to see the whole question on the preview desktop screen. Please see the attached screen shots

https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/comment/27376#Comment_27376Karishma1486 - Please use only one code as per your layout of the question. The below code will remove the borders as well. Try at a time one based on the look and feel.
Either use the below one,
jQuery('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('td:gt(1)').css('visibility','hidden')
OR
jQuery('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('td').css('visibility','hidden')
OR
//OR As per the no. of columns, below there are 3
jQuery('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS1').css('visibility','hidden')
jQuery('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS2').css('visibility','hidden')
jQuery('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS3').css('visibility','hidden')

Thanks for this Suraj.. Apologies I am bit new to this. I tried each code one at a time and I prefer the last set of codes.
jQuery('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS1').css('visibility','hidden')
jQuery('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS2').css('visibility','hidden')
jQuery('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS3').css('visibility','hidden')

The only issue I have is that, the first sentence "relative to competitors in that location..." appears perfectly on the mobile view i.e. the first row does not contain the drop down list across three columns. However, the desktop preview shows all the drop-downs missing from all the rows. Any idea how to fix this? I have attached a screen shot for your kind reference.

Thanks a million in advance.. really appreciate

This appears to be working fine for me, see below screenshot. Is there any other JS you have used along with the above one.
Try this one instead,
jQuery('#'+this.questionId).find('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS1').css('visibility','hidden')
jQuery('#'+this.questionId).find('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS2').css('visibility','hidden')
jQuery('#'+this.questionId).find('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS3').css('visibility','hidden')

A similar query.
I have attached a screen shot below.. My query is only about the last row. May I please know what code would work, if I do not want the choices to be displayed for the first and second column - for the last row? So that it appears something like in the screenshot.

This question already has a Java Script for the for the first row, for which you helped previously and recommended me to add this code.
jQuery('#'+this.questionId).find('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS1').css('visibility','hidden')
jQuery('#'+this.questionId).find('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS2').css('visibility','hidden')
jQuery('#'+this.questionId).find('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS3').css('visibility','hidden')
jQuery('#'+this.questionIdjust the d).find('tbody tr:eq(0)').find('.SBS4’).css('visibility','hidden')

Any help on how to adjust the choices for the last row will be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot

Hi Karishma1486 ,
You can use the below codes to hide the drop down of last row for the first 2 columns (as per your screenshot)
jQuery('#'+this.questionId).find('tbody tr:last').find('.SBS1').css('visibility','hidden')
jQuery('#'+this.questionId).find('tbody tr:last').find('.SBS2').css('visibility','hidden')
