Hi. I am designing a psychology experiment using Guilford's alternative uses task.
I am going to have the participants write multiple uses in a text entry box and separate the answers with a comma. Then, I can count the number of commas to refer how many uses were created, and display the score on a separate page, caculated based on the sum of number of commas from 3 text entry boxes. The scoring system gives 10 points per each uses created.
Here's what I did so far:
I've set embedded data for each text entry box as answer1, answer2, answer3.
Then, on a separate page, I put html tag:
Your total score: 0
and javascript:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
//For every new embedded value, add a line below here, and add the new value in the array
var answer1 = "${e://Field/answer1}";
var answer2 = "${e://Field/answer2}";
var answer3 = "${e://Field/answer3}";
let allAnswers = [answer1, answer2, answer3];
//General logic, no need to be touched
var countOfAnswers = 0;
for (let singleAnswer of allAnswers) {
if(singleAnswer !== "") {
var count = (singleAnswer.match(/,/g) || ]).length;
countOfAnswers += count+1;
}
}
//Logic to display value in the input field, and block the field so that user cannot interact with it
var display = $('#scoreDisplay');
display.text((countOfAnswers + 1) * 10);
});
However, this doesn't seem to work, as the number in the HTML span tag wouldn't change.
How do I fix this? Please help.

Try changing:
var display = $('#scoreDisplay');
to:
var display = jQuery('#scoreDisplay');
Such a simple fix! Thank you, TomG!
