How to pipe text from loop and merge into highlight question

Question

I’m hoping someone can help me fix this problem. I have hundreds of text excerpts that I would like to present to participants in the highlight question type, so they can highlight parts of the text that seem warm vs. not warm.

I pasted the different text into the loop and merge field (toy data for example):

I added this bit of JS code to the block:

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(

function () {

		var words = "${lm://Field/2}".split(" ");

		jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .HLTextWord").each(function(i) {

			jQuery(this).text(words[i]);


		});

	}

);

And then I entered ${lm://Field/2} into the “edit highlight text section”:

But when I preview the question, only the first word of Field 2 appears:

How do I get the text to pipe properly with each word as it’s own highlightable section? I’m not very familiar with JavaScript so I’d appreciate that if I needed to change my code that someone could help me identify those exact changes. Thank you!

@rondaloI can see what you’retrying to do following previous thread. However, you don’t get the full picture of this. Your code should look like this:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function () {var words = "${lm://Field/2}".split(" ");jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .HLTextWord").each(function(i) {if(i < words.length) jQuery(this).text(words[i]);else jQuery(this).hide();});});In the question, you have to set this up as container to hold your text (the number should cover the longest number of words in your sentences)Hope this helps
