Delayed autoadvance javascript | XM Community
Skip to main content

I’m seeking clarification/a modification to previous posts on auto advancing. I’d like to put an autoadvance but sometimes it feels quite immediate, and a few response options are long enough that people on mobile may click on one just to scroll down and find a better answer. So I’d like an autoadvance with a two second delay after clicking. What’s the javascript modification needed? Thanks in advance

 

@TomG, you answered one of the auto advance posts last time. Care to chime in? 

 

Auto-advance single choice MC with 2 second delay:

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() {
  this.hideNextButton();
  var qobj = this, to;
  qobj.questionclick = function(event,element){
    if (element.type == 'radio') {
      clearTimeout(to);
      to = setTimeout(function() { qobj.clickNextButton(); },2000);
    }
  };
});

 

You can apply delay on auto click using jQuery delay function. in the below code 1 second =1000 milliseconds. you can calculate and update the delay time accordingly.

jQuery("#NextButton").css('display','none');
this.questionclick = function(event,click){
    if (click.type == 'radio') {
        clearTimeout(this.clickNextButton().delay( 1000 ));
    }
};
