How do I display a word count of a text entry box on a previous page onto the next page? | XM Community
Skip to main content
Hi everybody,



I am looking for a solution in qualtrics to display the number of entered words into a text entry field to the study participant.



I already found a JS code that kind of does what I want. With the code in this thread I can display the number of words, however, only on the same page (and same question) as the text entry field is. I however want the word count to be displayed on the next page.



Is it possible to change the code so that I can display the number of words entered into a text entry field on the next page?



And: Is it possible to display the cumulative word count of several text entry fields of prior pages?



I hope I expressed myself clearly enough for somebody to help - I am no coding expert at all!

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

1.) use below script in java script same with some addition to add value to embedded data ED1

!



2.) DEFINE EMBEDDED IN SURVEY FLOW

!



3.) CALL this variable ed1 in next question

!
This helps a lot, thank you!



This code always refers to the previous text entry field.

Is there a code that displays the wordcount of several specific fields?
You can use indexing with variables like [0], [1] and modify script.
Thanks for helping out!
