Custom Code

Hi all Hoping someone on here can help me out (or point me in the right direction!). There are two main things that I am trying to achieve for the same question: 1. Constant sum for a column in a side-by-side question (I found some script for a matrix table but not for side-by-side). I have managed to get % signs beside the boxes but not the constant sum element. What I want to do is add a new row at the bottom and only show the cell for column 'Percentage Time Allocation on this Process Step (%)', and have that cell be the constant sum to 100%. 2. In the same question, for the column 'Standardised Activity Tag', I would like to auto-complete the dropdown menu with an embedded data field ($e{://Field/p1ps1sat for row 1 etc.). I want to give participants a pre-filled cell and allow them to change the input based on the values in the dropdown. I don't know any JS and am scrambling to solve the above issues! If anyone could help me out, that would be very much appreciated. Aaron!

I have a long matrix question containing several different choice groups. I would like to repeat the headers, but am not satisfied with Qualtrics options because the repeated headers are being placed in the middle of my different choice groups. Is there a way with Qualtrics or Javascript to control which rows the header is repeated on?

I'm using a video in one of my questionnaires but the Video does not automatically resize on mobile devices, but images do? Is there something I can do to make the video resize automatically?

Hi, I am using the theme "Mountains" for a survey. At the last page of the survey, there is usually a "forward" arrow, which takes the respondent to the end of survey message. However, with this theme (or if it is something that I have done), I do not get this arrow. I would like to have the arrow so that respondents know that they have finished the survey. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Is there a way to have users enter time (hh:mm) for their answers? I don't want to use a text box as I don't think I can trust people to enter minutes or hours after their answer - lots of ways to mess up my data here! If the answer involved Java please let me know exactly what to do as I've never done Java before. Thanks!

I wonder if anyone might be able to help me with a bit of coding? I am trying to find a way to make a URL for an embedded youtube video where it doesn't 'show related videos' at the end of the video, AND you can only play the video once. There are some bits under the 'embed / more' thingy on youtube' where you can do one or the other, but not both! Do you have any thoughts? Google is not being massively helpful.

Hi, Thanks for your attention! I would like to share my project with my colloborators. I have clicked all the 'permission' options under the 'collaborate' board. However, there is no 'add java script' option for them once they logged in. Here is what they would see: ! Please kindly notice that there is no 'add java script' option in the list as usual. Thanks in advance for your help! Cheers, Sherry

We'd like to use Qualtrics to administer a Spelling test to our elementary students. Tech support suggested I reach out to people here to ask if anyone has a custom code I can use to block spell check in the browser for those students during that time? Thanks!

Hi there, I am trying to set up a multiple choice question with two answer options that does the following things: 1. The time it takes the respondent to make a decision is recorded (I do this by adding a timing question) 2. Instead of using the mouse, I want respondents to use either of two designated keys on the keyboard to log their response 3. The respondent should then advance automatically to the next question/block once they made a decision I found some code that should do exactly that (see below). However - for some reason I don't understand - it does the following things instead: 1. I need to select an answer with the mouse. Thus, pressing j or k in order to select an answer doesn't do the trick. 2. However, once I selected an answer with the mouse and I press either j or k, I do advance to the next question. What could be going wrong here and how can I fix it? Thanks so much in advance! Theresa Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { this.hideNextButton();

Hi, Is there a css or java code that will hide the scroll bar at the side of the survey box? More specifically for creatives? I know this was raised before in the discussion below, however, we don't have any flexibility to do any CSS coding within the website itself as it was built by a third party. Here's the discussion: https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/comment/1939#Comment_1939 So I'm wondering if there's any workaround this? !

We have a question in a survey that asks respondents to rank 20 different items, but we need the particular functionality/ look of the question to be a drag and drop specifically (not the Rank Order type though, as we need them to drag into different amounts of a money allocation), so the Pick, Group, and Rank question makes the most sense, using 20 groups. But the box for each of those groups for that type of question is too big, whereas we only need (and in fact, require) just one item per group. This is not only inconvenient but also makes answering the question virtually impossible, since the screen does not scroll down when one tries to drag an item down to a group far down the page. Is there a way to adjust the height of these group boxes, so that they only fit one item in each (or at the very least are "shorter")? Alternatively, if there's some other type of question or way to do this, any help would be greatly appreciated! The drag-and-drop functionality is non-negotiable I'm

I want to remove the next button and replace it with the answers as the next button instead. Essentially, when a customer answers the survey on our website, they'll only need to click on the answers instead of clicking the answer and next button to bring you to the next question. I've tried hiding the next button on Advanced CSS but the answers won't be captured due to disabling the next button. I've also tried the javascript below but i didn't want my customers who are answering the questions to be waiting for 5 seconds for every single answer. Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() { var that = this; var allowedTime = 5 //Set this to the time allowed on page setTimeout(function(){ console.log('Now!!'); that.clickNextButton(); }, allowedTime * 1000 ); }); Can someone help me? I don't have any Javascript background and have called the support team in Qualtrics but no one have got a solution to it.

Hi, Is there a way to HASH embedded data? I'm trying to move from one survey to another with data that is HASHED in the URL and then come back and continue the survey I started? Thanks

I am looking to write basic testing scripts for testing the programming of a survey. I was hoping not to start from scratch and that someone else already has something they are willing to share.

Hello everybody, I unfortunately had no idea into which category to put my question, as it concerns the layout of the questionnaire. I was wondering if it is possible to put a frame around a question. Alternatively, I could use a picture as a background, if that is possible. Can anyone help me and tell me if one or the other is possible and if so, how it is done? Thank you very much in advance Joana

Does anyone know some Java script that would align labels on the right in a form? In other words, I'm trying to push the labels right up against the text box entry areas, so that the blank space between the label for the box and the box itself is eliminated as much as possible, like so: Name ___ ___ ___ Mailing Address ___ ___ ___ Thanks for any help you can provide!

I would like to add a header above the left-most column of a side by side item, directly above where the question statements would go. Can this be done?

I have a matrix table text entry question with 7 statements and 2 scale points. I want the leftmost column of text entry boxes to be filled with the piped text from a previous question, and to be made read-only so that the text cannot be edited. Each text box starting at the top, and ending at the bottom of the column, should be filled with piped text (response) from an earlier question. Is this possible with Javascript?

Looking for someone to provide the correct CSS code to change color of checkboxes in Qualtrics 2017 theme (and the blank styling theme).

I've used the following Javascript to add custom text before or after a input textbox in an answer so far: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var inputs = $(this.getQuestionContainer()).select('input[type="text"]'); for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) { var input = inputs[i]; $(input).insert({before: 'text'}); $(input).insert({after: 'text'}); } }); Now it seems that is not longer working :-( Has anybody an idea how it could be working now? I'm not really a Javascript-crack...

I'm trying to create a new question as indicated below in the image. ! Is there a way for me to recreate this in javascript? I'm familiar with programming, but unfamiliar with html/css/javascript, so I've tried messing with the Qualtrics API using the Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload function etc but it's beyond my knowledge. Also, if possible, can the compass wheel in the centre instead be controlled by touch/mouse to be a arrow pointing in a specific direction? Thanks in advance!

I am trying to change the background color for multiple choices but it is changing only for 2 options and not for all the options. Also the color kinda goes out of the border for the options it is working for. Below is the code and screen shot: li{ background-color:#F1F1F1; color:#63666A; }!

Hello, I'm the developer of the qualtRics R package. I'm currently in the process of re-writing large chunks of the code such that users can use the OAuth bearer tokens to interact with the API. Unfortunately, I've ran into an unexpected problem. This problem occurs both when I use my own code, as well as the python example code displayed in the qualtrics API documentation. I've configured authentication with the API properly and can retrieve bearer tokens fine. However, when I try to retrieve a list of surveys using the 'surveys' endpoint, there are no elements in the response. This is puzzling because when I try it using my API token, I see that the result does contain elements. I should add that I'm not using a 'full account', but that I've been given access to a 'noleadtrial' account for development purposes.

I would like to set a default response for a text entry question to demonstrate the format the text should be in, but I would like the default text to disappear when the respondent clicks on the box. Is this possible? Thank you in advance for your help!

I would like to have several sliders on one page but in various positions. (I do not mean the starting value of each slider, but the position of the slider itself, so that sliders are not vertically aligned.) This CSS-Code ("Look and Feel" - "advanced" - "Add Custom CSS") does the job, but for all sliders in the survey at once: .Skin .horizontalbar { margin: 2em 0.5px 0.5px 0.5px; position: relative; left: 500px; } Is there a way to change the position for each slider seperately? (Via CSS in "Look and Feel" or Javascript?)
