Hide back button for entire blocks

Hello

 

I have been adding a line of javascript to the questions where I need the back button turned off, but this is taking way too long as I have lots of repeated questions with slight variations depending on the respondent.

Essentially, can I set it to turn off the back button for an entire block, rather than just one question. I have set an embedded variable called BackButton = 1 or 0 for on and off but can’t get any javascript to operate it properly.

 

Cheers

Russell

@RElsdon - Post your JavaScript.

@RElsdon You don’t need to add JS code to every question. You just need to add it once in each page (if you have page brake in the block). If you want to turn it off for all, go to survey setting → response → Turn off back button

Hope this helps

If you have an embedded data written before block 0 or 1 you can include below code in header> source which would work for your entire survey.

<script>
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
		var showback = "${e://Field/BackButton}";

	if (showback== 0) {

jQuery("#PreviousButton").hide();

	}

});
</script>

Hope it helps!
