How to remain the first question of every page on its position when scrolling down? | XM Community
Skip to main content
Hi everyone,



I am a newbie in a world of coding, so I really need your help to solve my problem. I am designing a survey that has several pages, each page has 5 questions, the first question is a short story, the rest of questions asks respondents about the story's content. Therefore, it is wonderful if I can make the first question always appear when respondents scroll down.



I see that there is a discussion about how to fix position of an image, but this is a question, not an image, so I can not apply provided solution.



Thank you in advance for your help.

You could:



1. pipe the text of the story "question" into each subsequent question where it's needed: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/editing-questions/piped-text/piped-text-overview/#PipingFromAPreviousQuestion

2. paste the text of the story into the header of the survey, though it'll show up on every single page



With #1, your question HTML would look like



```

${q://QIDX/pipedQuestionTextOrWhateverTheFieldisCalled}

Question 2

---

${q://QIDX/pipedQuestionTextOrWhateverTheFieldisCalled}

Question 3

```

Thank you very much for your answer. Unfortunately, it does not work for my situation:



1. For the solution 1: stories have to be piped into every question, i.e. they appear again and again. This makes my survey look weird, because I will ask repeated several questions for each story.



2. For the solution 2: if I paste story into the header, the story will be fixed, but I have many stories that I need to change and randomize them in the survey. Is there any way to use different header for different block and randomize headers?

Hi Tomas,
Currently, I struggle with the same issue. Did you find a way to resolve your problem?
Thanks in advance,
Hannah
