Hey everyone, I have a question I'm hoping someone can help I have allowed a text box entry for a question with "other" as an option. This is for a multiple choice, single answer question. When I preview the question, the textbox appears under the whole list and I'd only like it to show if someone selects other. Is this possible?Thanks for your help. :)

This will work if the last option is the text entry box. See the demo here.Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function () {text_box = this.getChoiceContainer().querySelector(".TextEntryBox");text_box.hide();n_choices = this.getChoices().length;this.questionclick = function (event, element) {if (element.type == "radio") {if (element.id.split("~")[2] == n_choices) {text_box.show();} else {text_box.hide();}}};});

Here's the revised script that should work with almost all question types, Single select, multiple select, horizontal and vertical:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){vartext_box=this.getChoiceContainer().querySelector(".TextEntryBox");text_box.hide();this.questionclick=function(){vartext_choice=text_box.ancestors()[1].children[1].className.includes("checked");if(text_choice){text_box.show();}else{text_box.hide();}};});
