Custom Code

Hello everyone! I've been fighting with this for a while now and regardless of what I tried it simply doesn't work. I must create a customize email (with a banner image, specific colors, spefific button shape , etc) so that the email looks exactly like the ones our client would sent to his newsletter contacts. I've created such email in my message library as a genral email. Added all the required CSS. When I look at the message there, it seems to be properly set. I then go in Distribution to send an email without a survey and import the message from my library. Automatically, all my CSS is being removed and my email looks awful! As well, I need to use embedded data from the contact list in the email but it doesn't seem to be able to pick them up. If I insert contact info such as the name it will work but not the embedded data. Anyone ever had this issue or need? How can I fix this? Thanks in advance!

I am using a matrix table to collect text data, but would like to widen the column width and have the text wrap so the respondent can view what they have written. !

I must be missing something blindingly obvious but my JS skills are slight. I have question 1 with a single text entry box. Question 2 is side-by-side with two columns of open text boxes. Once the respondent has done Q1 and entered something in the top left box of Q2 I want the ratio of the two to appear in the top box of column 2 in Q2. For some reason the Q1 value is not being transferred. Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() { /*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed*/ inputW = jQuery('[name="QR~QID54#1~1~1~TEXT"]'); //question 2 first box inputEmp =jQuery('[name="QR~QID14~1"]'); //question 1 inputWpc=jQuery('[name="QR~QID54#2~1~1~TEXT"]'); //box to show ratio inputW.change(function () { var val1 = (isNaN(parseInt(inputW.val()))) ? 0 : parseInt(inputW.val()); console.log(val1); var val2 = (isNaN(parseInt(inpu

Why can I not say, if (Value > val) { var correctchoice = 1; } else { var correctchoice = 0; } Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("Correctchoice ", correctchoice); or if (Value > val) { var correctchoice = "1"; } else { var correctchoice = "0"; } Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("Correctchoice ", correctchoice); whereas this works? if (Value > val) { var Pruefung = "Take it"; } else { var Pruefung = "Don't take it"; } Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("Pruefung", Pruefung);

I am looking to create a custom code that allows for a definition of a word to pop up in a bubble when you hover your mouse over the word. I do not want a new browser window to pop-up, nor am I looking for the word to be clickable. I simply want a small bubble with a definition of a word to appear next to the cursor when you hover the cursor over it. Any insight would be much appreciated! Thanks!!

Hey all, Does anyone know what the "Text Set" gray-scale text is on the end of each of my Embedded Data fields? (see attachment) In my testing, I discovered that the fields ending in Text Set work as expected with my Display Logic while the 11 without Text Set never display. I've spent a while poking around the Survey Flow and I can't figure out how the user added the Embedded Data differently. I asked them and they didn't realize it was different. There's about 200 Embedded Data fields we're pulling in from the Contact Panel, so this isn't new for them, but I can't for the life of my figure this out. As always, any help is appreciated, thank you! -Jeremy

Good evening all, Backstory on this project, I had a business unit come to me and ask if I had a solution for how a customer could change their answers after viewing the Qualtrics' Response Summary page. Currently, once the Response Summary page is loaded, the back button is not just hidden, but is not loaded with the page at all. This means that creating a custom button in the footer and using the clickPreviousButton() API doesn't work. At that point, the survey responses have not been submitted yet, so the response is still in "Responses in Progress". Therefore, I cannot use a "ReTake Survey Link" without having the customer click the "Submit" button and then offering the link on the "Thank you for taking our survey..." page which I foresee being confusing for the customer. With 2 ways not to create a Qualtrics lightbulb under my belt, I believe the best way to accomplish this is to create a button and, using the same SessionId, redirect the customer to an earlier point in the surv

Hey all, I have something lengthy EmbeddedData strings, i.e. ${q://QID194%232/ChoiceTextEntryValue/1/1}, that are affecting my column sizes in Matrix Tables and I'd like to know if there's a way to shorten these strings or, at the very least, adjust the columns so they don't look so aesthetically horrid. Scenario: I have a Matrix Table with 8 statements (Plan 1 through Plan 8), first column is open text column called "Plan Name" (attachment: Benefits - Plan Name). The survey taker will input a plan name for each plan they have and these plan names carry through to multiple questions further down in the survey. For instance, the very next question is another Matrix table where the statements are these 8 strings, carrying down the responder's answer(s) as the statement(s) (Attachment: Benefits - Plan Name EmbData). Here's where the problem comes in. In one table, I need to use the plan names from the first table as Column Titles in a Matrix Table and because the string is so long, it

Hello - I'm trying to create a survey using a slider, but need to have two labels (one on each side) and not able to figure out how to do that. I'm still new to using Qualtrics and have almost zero CSS knowledge, so hoping someone can help me or direct me to a tool/resource that can teach me how to do this. Thanks in advance, allen !

Say Question 1 says "What product are you interested in? (a) Shoes, (b) Shirts, (c) Pants" and Question 13's text _depends_ on the answer from Question 1, but it's not going to repeat the text exactly. For instance, "Imagine you were shopping for {Question 1 answer - if a: "boots"; if b: "polos"; if c: "jeans"}. Which of the following..." Is there a way to do this with, say, piped text? I can't use logic and just copy the questions with slightly different text because I have at least 20 of these conditionals, and it would quickly get extremely unwieldy. I feel like piped text would be the ideal way to do it, but I don't know how since I've never used it and the only things I've been able to do with it so far have been repeated text that already exists, rather than creating conditionals.

I have a drill down question in which I would like respondents to have the ability to start typing text and pull up matching answer choices to select from. I've seen other posts mention that using Select2 allows for this kind of functionality (I am a novice when it comes to using JavaScript). However, when I enter the following into the JavaScript for the question the search box only appears for the first item in the drill down and not the second. Any suggestions? var options = { placeholder: 'Select an option' }; jQuery("#"+this.questionId).find('select:first').select2({options});

Hi all. I'd like to set up a series of two multiple choice questions (single answer) with the same 4-point scale picklist. I would like the second question's default answer choice to be what the respondent selected in the question before it. But, I still want the other three points to be shown. The context is a [Definitely/Likely/Unlikely/Definitely not] question that asks for a respondent's likelihood of doing something. Then in the next question, I add a piece of information to the description, and ask the respondent to either change their answer given the new piece of information, or if their answer has not changed despite the new information, to leave it as the default selection (their selected choice in the first question). Is this in Qualtrics' functionality that I'm missing, and if not, does anyone have code I could use to achieve this? Thank you all in advance.

Hi all, I created the following slider question, selecting the text position as "bottom": ! But when I go to preview, this is how it looks like: ! How can I have the question look the same as how I created it?

Hello! I am having a difficult time designing a question in qualtrics that mimics the question in the image below, in which there is text both before and after the textbox. I have found that using JavaScript provided here https://gist.github.com/13bzhang/92be517b6558132c78620ad029c77f4d allows me to do this when the response is only one text box, but the trick here is that I want the textbox displayed in each of the four response options. Is this possible? ! Thanks!

I want to randomize the choices within a constant sum question but keep 2 particular choices grouped together while still being in a random location as a group relative to all other choices. This seems to be possible using groups in a standard multiple choice question but groups do not exist for constant sum questions. Is there something I am missing within qualtrics or a bit of javascript that would perform this function?

I run a few surveys where users have had problems because JS was disabled on their browser. I am trying to think of the best way to let a user see quickly if JS is enabled on their browser before they proceed with the survey (outside of them going to check their settings). Any thoughts?

I'm creating a project where users that log in based on email id (pulling from Contact List) need to see a list of emails that checked into an organization. The number of people/emails checking into an organization can be in the 100s and the total number of organizations can be between 600-700. I've gotten the instrument to work technically but because of the way the emails are delimited in the uploaded contact list, all the emails appear in a horizontal line that is pretty unsightly. Please see below. Is there any way to customize the piped embedded data ${e://Field/Email%20List} to make this appear as an actual list with emails one below the other instead of the long string? Thanks for your help !

Hi thanks for helping me out. I am trying to obtain the value from a single line text box using this.getTextValue(). What am I doing wrong? Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() { /*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed*/ this.questionclick = function(event,element){ //alert('ID: ' +element.id); var answer = this.getTextValue() alert(answer); } });

Hello, I am using Qualtrics email system to send out my survey, but the copy in my email spans the width of the screen - way past my banner. See attached image. Can you please help me figure out how to set the width of the copy to match the width of my banner. I have attached a Word doc with the HTML code. Thanks in advance for your help! !

Hi everyone, I'm new to qualtrics so I apologize if this question has been asked. I just couldn't find what I'm looking for. In this example, "What would concern you?" Answer options are: Nothing, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, Others (type in). I allow multiple answers since people might have multiple concerns. However, a respondent just pointed out to me that this makes it possible to combine Nothing with other options, which makes no sense (though no one has done that yet). Therefore, I'm just wondering if there is a way to grey out all other options if Nothing is selected, or grey out Nothing if any other options are selected. If not, I guess a validation could also work, though I see that the built-in validation option doesn't allow this logic. What would you advise? Thanks a bunch!

Hi, I'm a newbie to writing custom code, so apologies in advance. I've described a survey scenario below. I'm not sure if this is possible in Qualtrics but any help would be appreciated. I want participants to be completing a survey on 1 page, and after about 45 seconds I need a pop-up window to appear. The pop-up will ask them to answer a question and enter a value. I want pop-window only to go away (i.e. they cannot work on the original survey) until they have entered the correct value in the pop-up window or after 3 incorrect attempts. At that point they are allowed to continue completing the original survey. Thank you, Tracy

Hello everyone, Is it possible to add a choice button that is invisible and that is always selected if choice Yes=1 is selected? Additionally, I need to assign a score to that invisible button, that is counted if it is activated? So basically, can I make the button disappear, but (1) still select it through javascript? (2) still give it a score beforehand? Thank you, Liss !

Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to get a survey to advance to the next question upon clicking a selection from a select box. I've tried using the following code from Alex B in https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/14/how-to-set-auto-advance-on-my-survey `Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var that = this; this.questionclick = function(event,element){ if (element.type == 'radio') { that.clickNextButton(); } } });` But, this code only seems to work for regular Qualtrics questions and not select boxes. Please let me know! Thanks!

Hello, I have an extremely long Matrix item, and my client insist on it being on one screen. It's so long that the repeat header option (which only displays 3 repetitions - top, middle, bottom) isn't enough to always have the item options on the screen. To fix this, is it possible to either: * Freeze the column header options at the top of the screen while scrolling (preferred), or * Add extra repeated headers? Thanks for any help! -Matt

Hello, In a survey I have a multiple answer question. When I select more than 1 options and press the backbutton, the selections are stored in an embedded data field by using Javascript. Below my code: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function() { var choices = this.getSelectedChoices(); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('Competention'+loopnr', choices); }); When I select i.e. option 1 and 3, my Embedded Data Field displays 1, 3 But I want the labels as well, because only the selected choice is not enough for me to report. I need the labels corresponding to 1 and 3, i.e. "Option 1, Option 3". What kind of code do I need for this? Many thanks in advance.
