word count progress bar.pdfI have a code (HTML and Javascript) that gives me a textarea and a progress bar that reacts to the number of words typed into the textarea. I had no struggle including the code before the Qualtrics update.
Now the problem is:
If the question type I use is a text/graphic, everything looks fine, but the answers participants give are not saved.
If the question type I use is a text entry, the answers participants give in the HTML textarea are not saved and there is another textarea from Qualtrics below my HTML texarea.
So I guess I need to connect my code to the existing textarea, but that does not work. How do I do it?
You can finde my code attached. Thank your for your help!
Use a tex/graphic question. Add another text entry question below it.
Add this JS to the Qualtrics text entry question:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function () {
this.questionContainer.hide();
let my_text = this.questionContainer.querySelector("textarea");
document.querySelector("#NextButton").onclick = function () {
my_text.value = document.querySelector("#progress").next("textarea").value;
};
});
Thank you for your help!
I tried it and it looks good, but the responses in the text entry field are not safed, I dont see any data for that question when I export the data. I had that problem before when I use the question type text/graphic.
Do you see another option? It seems like the responses are only safed in Qualtrics textareas. Can I make my code react to the existing Texterea in a text entry question?
This is a demo for the code and instructions I shared with you.
Click on the next button to confirm that the text is being captured.
Now I got it! Thank you very much for your help!
