Allow only integer as an answer (via JavaScript?)
Best answer by TomG
+27I need to validate the numbers in the text field as integers as well, but from 5000000 - 15000000. I want to avoid that the participants write 5,000,000 because in the next question, a calculation is made with the previously entered number. How do I need to adjust the above code? Unfortunately, I am not really familiar with JavaScript...
Thank you so much! :)

I copied the code into JavaScript and made an validation that 5000000 <= x <= 15000000. Unfortunately, Qualtrics still accepts numbers written as 9,000,000. Any suggestions?
Best :)

This is where I pasted the code.
+22Put the code inside onload function
Like this? Qualtrics is giving me an error signal...

Have a nice day :)
Need help to make a constant sum type question (sharing screenshot of example) to allow 'Integer Only' values for numeric fields. Also, I have a open text entry field in one of the choice options (Others- please specify_____)-> how do I also ensure this text field allows for alphanumeric.
The above JS code is unfortunately not allowing 'Others' choice text to input alphanumeric:
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").on("input", function() {
this.value = this.value.replace(/[^0-9]/g,"");

This code replaces a decimal but allows it to be entered first. Is there code that would prevent it from being entered entirely?
I'm concerned that a user might type "2.5" and move on without realizing the replacement, so I receive an inaccurate "25" as a data point.
Any help is appreciated.
Nadaly The constant sum question will on its own enforce numbers, so if you are interested in enforcing integers, choose custom validation and configure it for each statement, either as Does not contain . or
Matches Regex ^\\d+$.
Alternatively, you can use the following JS code. It changes the question text and shows and alert to enter only valid integers:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function () {
//Get the Question Id
const qid = this.questionId;
// Get the number of choices
n_choices = Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.registry[qid].getChoices();
const base_msg = jQuery("#" + qid + " .QuestionText").html();
padding_pre = '
padding_post = "";
err_msg = base_msg + padding_pre + "Please enter only valid integer numbers." + padding_post;
// Detect a change in any of the choices
n_choices.forEach((item) => {
document.querySelector("#QR\\\\~" + qid + "\\\\~" + item).oninput = function () {
if (document.querySelector("#QR\\\\~" + qid + "\\\\~" + item).value.search(/\\D/) != -1) {
jQuery("#" + qid + " .QuestionText").html(err_msg);
} else {
jQuery("#" + qid + " .QuestionText").html(base_msg);
}
};
});
});
https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/20864#Comment_20864I'm wanting to do this in a side-by-side question and only apply to certain fields. Do you know how I can reference these within the above code so not all fields are limited to integers?
+27https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/41193#Comment_41193Change the selector to filter for specific elements (e.g., change " .InputText" to " .SBS1 .InputText").
