Ok so I am new to development on Qualtrics although I have been using it for some time. Not new to JS/HTML/CSS but the below code is pretty wonky I know - trying to get this right for a reach goal of a supervisor!
My question is this: Why is my height not applying? I was able to test that I am actually adjusting the CSS related to the Matrix table I am attempting to work with by changing the background-color which I was able to do. In fact I can adjust other CSS properties, but not the height. Why is this? I realize my way of reaching the Matrix table “tbody” was a bit obnoxious but it’s 5am and I’m trying to “go the extra mile” in a short time.
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
matrix = this.questionContainer.childNodes[5].childNodes[1].childNodes[1].childNodes[2].childNodes[1].childNodes[5]
matrix.style.height = "200px";
matrix.setAttribute("id","matrixID")
});
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
matrix = this.questionContainer.childNodes[5].childNodes[1].childNodes[1].childNodes[2].childNodes[1].childNodes[5]
matrix.style.height = "200px";
});
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function()
{
matrix = this.questionContainer.childNodes[5].childNodes[1].childNodes[1].childNodes[2].childNodes[1].childNodes[5]
matrix.style.height = "200px";
});
After setting the Id I was also able to confirm I can adjust some CSS properties (like background-color), but again not height while using the Qualtrics “Look and Feel” tab and editing the CSS there.
Obviously I am doing something blatantly wrong (besides how I am reaching the tbody of the Matrix table), but what? My organization has preset themes, could those prevent me from adjusting height?
