Force Link Click

Question

Hi all,I’m working on a project where I would like to force respondents to click a link to take an assessment before continuing on in the survey. I’ve developed some code for this but have been encountering some problems:First, I was successfully able to hide the ‘next’ button, but when I clicked the link, the tab for the assessment didn’t open	Then, I was able to code the link to open in a new tab when clicked, but qualtrics did not register this as a link click, and therefore didn’t reveal the next button.Is there a way to force respondents to click the link, have it open in a new tab (so it doesn’t interrupt the survey), and have that register as the link click? We are trying to prevent respondents from lying about if they took the assessment. Version of code that opens new tab but doesn’t reveal next button:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {    // Hide the Next button initially    jQuery("#NextButton").hide();    // Attach a click event handler to the "Take Exercise" link    jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" a").click(function(event){        // Prevent the default link behavior        event.preventDefault();        // Set the Embedded Data value to Yes        Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('LinkClicked', 'Yes');        // Open the link in a new tab        window.open('#link', '_blank');    });});Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() {    // Hide the Next button if LinkClicked is not equal to Yes    if (Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData('LinkClicked') !== 'Yes') {        jQuery("#NextButton").hide();    }});

Your code never shows the Next button after hiding it. Add:jQuery("#NextButton").show();to your click handler.
