Hi, I'd like to change the text at the bottom of a matrix constant sum question from "Total" to something else. Javscript isn't my forte--how could I do this? Thanks!

Best answer by TomG

Add this to the addOnload function: ``` jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .c1:last").html("New Total Label"); ```

    Is Total on the right or bottom?

Try this instead: ``` jQuery("label[for="+this.questionId+"_Total]").html("New Total Label"); ```
      Dear Tom, thanks for your help. Unfortunately this one does not work in my case either to override the standard label. I used: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { jQuery("label[for="+this.questionId+"_Total]").html("New Total Label"); }); Any clues?

      @_Hannah1073, Start a new thread and post _details_ on your specific constant sum question (e.g., settings, image, etc.).

      Is there a code to change the total label in a constant sum matrix table with the Total column on the right?
