Customizing the Slider Bar


Wanting to know what shade of a color, for example, purple, respondents would want to purchase...dark, medium or light. Doesn't seem like I can customize a slider bar to have the scale represent color. Any other ideas?

You can customize the slider colors with CSS added to the survey look & feel or inside a `<style>` tag in the question text.

Hi @aburke,
I have just customized colors on my sliders, so I share my code with you and others.

` .Skin .SS .horizontalbar .SSTrack,.Skin .horizontalbar .Slider .track{height:8px;opacity:.5;filter:alpha(opacity=50);top:10px;border-radius:40px;background-color:#B3914F; border-color:#B3914F;}`

` .Skin .SS .SSTrack:hover,.Skin .horizontalbar .Slider .BarContainer:hover .track,.Skin .horizontalbar .Slider .activated .track{opacity:1;filter:alpha(opacity=100);background-color:#B3914F; border-color:#B3914F;}`

` .Skin .SB input,.Skin .SS .horizontalbar .handle,.Skin .SS .verticalbar .SSTrack .handle,.Skin .horizontalbar .BarContainer:hover .bar,.Skin .horizontalbar .Slider .handle,.Skin .horizontalbar .activated .bar{background:#3A2310;} `

` .Skin .SS .horizontalbar .handle:hover,.Skin .horizontalbar .Slider .handle:hover{background:#3A2310;} `

I'd love to know how you remove the minus sign from the scales?

jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" ul.numbers li").each(function() { this.innerHTML = this.innerHTML.replace("-",""); });
(And what is the popup tooltips you are referring to?)

Hi All,
I'm trying to customize the position of labels on a slider but can't seem to find where i can insert CSS or modify the layout with html. Any suggestions would be great. Ideally, i want the first label (None at all) to appear above the 0, the next around the 25% mark, then the 50%, 75% and 100%. Can you create your own automatic label and add it to the standard list? Ideally i would like to add % to the numbers.

Any advice would be much appreciated. I'm relatively new to Qualtrics and still trying to navigate my way around.

Cheers,
Janette !

You'll have to write JS to do that. Removing the minus signs from the scale is pretty easy, but removing them from the popup tooltips is very complicated.
Thanks, Tom. That is a bit beyond my skill level, but I appreciate knowing where to begin my research!

@JanetteM ,
To add % to the numbers, paste the following code in the "look and feel"-> "Advanced" -> "Add custom css": `ul.numbers li::after { content:"%"; }`

For the position of the label, you can put the grid lines value as 4 OR 8 OR 12.
output using grid line 4

Hi,

I'm trying to create a slider with two values: "Yes" on the left and "No" on the right. The slider should be centred on zero and have a max of "99 p" on both sides. So far, I've only worked out how to centre the cursor on zero and have the range from -99 to 99.

Any help with this would be great!

@irish_qual - Add "Yes" and "No" as labels:

I would like to put a free response box next to the slide bar. Is this possible?
