Custom Code

The survey I'm working has the back button turned on. But once the user has reached a branch should end the survey, I'd like for them not to be able to go back. Is there a way to turn off the back button for certain questions? Or at the end of a logic branch?

Hi,if I select the slider question and select "not applicable", this option is shown on the right side of the scale as last scale point.However, within the survey it is displayed below the scale, which is confusing.Is there any possibility to adapt this?Thanks a lot,Laura

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me with the following: I have a loop & merge item of which the order is randomized. I'd like to show a descriptive text question in all iterations except for the first (i.e. "You are going to answer these sets of questions another time ..."). Is there I way I can 'tap into' the loop counter using display logic? The only option I found in there is selecting a specific loop item in which the question should be displayed, but the fact that my loop is randomized makes this unusable.

HelloI would like to extended the width of the questions in my survey so that they are readable to my older adult clients, especially would like to eliminate the Right-Left scroll bar found in the Matrix Table questions when there are multiple response choices. I did my search through the Qualtrics Community discussion board and used this. Entered this in the header of the Look&Feel: if(jQuery("div").hasClass("Matrix")){jQuery(".SkinInner").css("width","98vw")}Then entered this in the custom CCS of Look&Feel: .Skin .QuestionOuter.Matrix{max-width:1000px}I noticed that it worked beautifully but the questions are not centered in the middle. The questions are placed on the left side of the screen. Is there additional coding that I need to make the questions centered in the middle? Thank you for your help! Hchong

Dear all,I want to equip a Constant Sum Question (type: Choices, options: Total Box) with the "Must Total" validation. Typically, the validation is enforced. This means I can only submit responses that satisfy the must total criterion.Is there a way to only request a valid response? That is, participants who enter an invalid response are kindly asked to reconsider their response but can nevertheless continue with the survey if they wish to do so. This would be the analogue of the "request response" feature.I'm grateful for any suggestions.Best,Peter

Hi!I would like to have a text with gaps, which users have to fill in with missing words. Take a look at the picture to see what I mean precisely. Does anyone know how this may be possible to do on Qualtrics? I already googled this in the Qualtrics forums, but I haven't been able to find a solution. I would be very grateful if someone would be able to help me with this.

I want to have three different audio clips on a page for comparison. I would like it so that if the user presses the button to play audio clip 2 while audio clip 1 is playing, audio clip one pauses or stops so that there is only one audio clip playing at a time. Is this possible? PS: I should have API access in a day or two if that allows for this feature!

I want to change the button color of one question, but I keep having issues. The skin I want on a single question seems to be applied to more than the one and once it was all questions on the page besides the one I wanted. Below is the code I used. I used #ffffff to easily check if it worked QID144 .Skin label.MultipleAnswer,.Skin label.SingleAnswer { background:#ffffff; border-color: #ffffff; border-width:2px; color: #ffffff; font-weight: Bold; }

Hi! I want to hide numbers shown in my slider question (highlighted in yellow in the image) but don't know how to do so. Can anybody here help please? !

Hi, I am building a slider question that right now looks like this (I changed the labels with custom pictures): ! I would like the question to look like the following, centered at 50%, with 100% at both ends and two 75% midway: ! Since I am already using the labels with the custom pictures, I thought that I could achieve this by changing the values displayed, but I don't know how. I found two threads that may be relevant, here and here. I tried to use the code provided to see if I could get that result to start with, but adding the CSS code did not produce any changes on the values (once I

I am interested in creating a slider scale that has no numerical values that are visible to the respondent but that will provide me with a value depending on where they click on the line. For example, the leftmost point on the slider will be "0" and the rightmost will be a value of "100" with all points in between equally distant from one another. Under the slider, I would like to put broad categories of mild, moderate, severe at certain points. Do I need special code for this? Thank you in advance for any direction. I am including what the paper-based question looks like (what I am trying to recreate). ! I am going to provide respondents with a set of audio files to listen to and "grade" on various characteristics. To grade a characteristic, they will just click on the line where they think the sample is (how severe the characteristic is). I will, hopefully, be give a numerical value on my e

Hi All,I chose Flatpickr for this as they have a month view (https://github.com/flatpickr/flatpickr/issues/269). I wanted to move the date selected box to below the calendar but couldn't work it out so created a new box and listened to a change event. I find Classes and IDs very confusing! Any feedback on my code would be appreciated!Look and Feel Header script:Result:Can anyone advise on

Hi, I would like to use embed data for Matrix table. I have tried to use " if("${e://Field/familymember}" == "1") this.setChoiceValueByRecodeValue(1, 1, 1); " and it does not work. Sorry if this is repeated topic as I'm unable to find similar topic as this. Thank you.tawjam

Dear all, I am wondering if there is a simple way to collect data on the use of the "Previous" button. I have the "Timing" question in mind, which collects data on the "Next/Page Submit" button.Ideally, I would like to record the number of times a user clicks on the "Previous" button of a particular page. My initial idea was to append the question ID to an embedded variable (which would work as a list) in a click event in the custom javascript of a question. If someone has a snippet of code that does just that I would be very grateful. Thanks, Thomas

Hi all,I have a survey question where participants are going to provide the year and month that they think something is going to happen using two drop down menus in a side by side question format (see attached). I would like to display on the same page a calculation of how far in the future their guess is. I.e. if they input May, 2021 it would display 1 year and 0 months. The really important thing is that this appears on the same page and updates dynamically as participants enter their answers. I am aware that with embedded data I could get this information to appear on a subsequent page of the survey but that does not work for my needs. I believe this problem is going to have to be solved with javascript, and I am real novice when it comes to that. The exact formatting of the questions is negotiable (it doesn't necessarily have to be side by side) but I do need to use dropdowns to select answers. If anyone has any clues on where to start (or if this is even pos

I have a question on my survey that requires respondents to choose to allocate a fraction of something between two people. We really want the particular functionality to be a slider (so that each end of the slider is a different person), but do not want any kind of default to appear on the slider (i.e. not even in the middle), since we're worried about things like anchoring and adjustment, people just leaving the default as the answer, etc. I know there's other question types like matrix tables that have no defaults for the respondent's choice, but since the particular task is an allocation of a fraction of something (and we want the respondent to be able to do anything from 0-100, 1-99, 2-98, etc.), the slider makes the most sense and is definitely what we want. I've seen people ask this before and unfortunately have not found anything that works. Thanks!

! Hello! At the moment I am working on my dissertation. I almost finished my Qualtrics design, but one thing remains before distributing the survey. When I preview the mobile version the image that I added above the text (as shown in the attached image) does not resize to the mobile version. Therefore the text under the image does also not resize and is therefore hard to read on a mobile phone. I am still very new to coding, but does somebody know how I can make the image above the text automatically resize towards the screen that the respondent uses? Thank you very much in advance! Kind regards, Luuk

Hi,I would like to limit a survey to 5 minutes in total duration. I have 10 questions, and I'd like them each on their own page, and for randomization to happen.I have attempted to follow the suggestion in the link below. When following this code, I have each question in a separate block, I group the block with the branch, and I randomize the grouped blocks.https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/692/can-i-set-a-time-limit-for-a-surveyHowever, this does not auto-advance to the end while someone is working on a question, but only after they hit the next button. I've also tried to use the code here:https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/1730/automatically-end-block-with-page-breaks-after-a-fixed-time-l

Hi there,I have a Loop & Merge block in which I want a certain question to be displayed in only some loop iterations but not always. To this end, I'm trying to build upon this question and answer. However, I need to match ${lm://CurrentLoopNumber} to several loop iteration numbers, so that if ${lm://CurrentLoopNumber} equals either (for example) 2 or 4 or 10 , then a question will be hidden in the 2nd, 4th, and 10th loop iterations. To do this, I found this nice solution, which allowed me to write the following code:{ /*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/ var foo = "${lm://CurrentLoopNumber}"; var L = function(){  var obj = {};  for(var i=0; i

Good afternoon, I had a user put a ticket in yesterday that I'm stumped on and wondered if anyone could spot my problem at a glance.

Hello!I have this "game" or task that's coded with the Qualtrics API. It lasts about 900 seconds but we would like to give the option for the participant to click the next button if they choose not to do the task to completion. However, the issue with the way the JS is coded is that all of the .setEmbeddedData lines happen after the entire game has completed and the code is finishing up. The way it's written right now, no data from the code will be embedded into Qualtrics if the participant presses the next button early and cuts off the game prematurely.I was hoping to resolve this by moving the .setEmbeddedData lines from the end of the game to the .addOnUnload section so that all of the data will be embedded when the participant presses the next button. However, I learned that none of the variables/data carry over between the sections. Is there a way to carry over that data from .addOnReady to .addOnUnload or must we rewrite the JS so that code is embedding the data

Hi, I am trying to do a pop-up or pop-over in one question to prompt participants to check their answers before moving on. This window or intercept should come up when they press next for to move onto the next question. Appreciate it if I can be directed to a question or discussion thread related to this or any help with codes are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello, Can anyone help me with a css/javascript that will show the respondent how long he is busy with completing the survey? By that I mean a stopwatch that is counting up. I would like to have one that is there on every page from the beginning to the end of the survey. It would be fantastic if someone could help me! :-) Thanks in advance, Danielle :)
