Automatic advance to next question after slider response | XM Community
Skip to main content
Hi,

for multiple choice questions, I usually use the following code to automatically move to the next question:



Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()

{

jQuery(".statement-container div").eq(0).append("<span style='float: right;'></span>");

var that = this;

this.questionclick = function(event,element){

if (element.type == 'radio') {

that.clickNextButton();

}

}



However, for sliders this does not work. I have tried replacing "radio" with all types of things including "slider" of course, but it does not work. Any help would be appreciated.
Slider questions aren't conducive to auto advance because there isn't a good way of knowing when the respondent has finished answering the question. So, I wouldn't recommend doing auto advance on a slider.



If you were to do it, you would need to use a combination of a mousedown event followed by a mouseup event.
Hi Tom. Thank you for your answer. I see this limitation, but I would still like to give it a try. Would you mind helping me adjusting the above code?

It isn't an adjustment. It is a "throw it out and start over" type of change.
