I tried searching the community and not sure I saw a solution for this. I saw some workarounds, but not sure they would work in this instance. I'm also very new at this so sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm trying to make the columns more consistent in the matrix. I realize it's because my 1 and 10 have long text in them but this is pretty standard for our organization. I've shrunk the font down to an 8. I tried the "labels" that are native to the question type, but the right label extends over the N/A option, and that is inaccurate. Do I have other options here? Thanks for any feedback. 
Question
Adjusting Matrix Column Widths
+27You can use labels and modify the colspan attribute with JS so the label doesn't extend over the NA.
Thank you. That sounds like exactly what I need to do. I see that the colspan is 11 by default, so I would want to change it to 10. I don't really know much about JavaScript, other than copy and paste code that I found. Do you know what that code would look like?
+27Do you know what that code would look like?
var cl = jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" td.ColumnLabels");
cl.attr('colspan',cl.attr('colspan')-1);
EDIT: typo corrected
Thanks for the prompt response. I tried this, and I didn't see any change. Maybe I input it wrong? I tried colspan-1 like you had and didn't see a change so I changed it to -4 just to see if the change was so minor I wasn't see it. Still no change. I tried it in addonload and addonready. When I preview the survey, I see that the ColumnLabels colspan is still set to 11. Did I implement incorrectly?
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
var cl = jQuery("#"+this.questiondId+" td.ColumnLabels");
cl.attr('colspan',cl.attr('colspan')-4);
});
+22Incorrect spelling of this.questionId
Try changing to:
var cl = jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" td.ColumnLabels");
cl.attr('colspan',cl.attr('colspan')-4);
