Custom Code

When our survey is being taken on a large monitor(30"?), the text boxes on the multiple choice questions are displaying on the far right side of the screen, instead of next to or below the option they are connected to. I'd like to make that stop happening. Thoughts?

In a contstant sum question there is a section for text (1) and a section for the sliders (2). Please see the screenpring below. ! I would like to have the width for the textsection bigger and the section for the sliders smaller. How can I do this? Thanks in advance.

I am trying to create a survey that has a lot of long definitions of words. Instead of having the long definitions in the question, I want to design the survey so that when the user hovers over the word, the definition will pop-up for them to read. How would I do this?

Hi - I am looking to fix an image to the top of a question, so that when you scroll down through a number of questions on the screen the image is still present at the top and can be rated easily without having to scroll up and down. Hope someone can help :)

Hello, I created the table below with the side by side question option. On the right-hand side (select the one mostly used in practice), I would like to make it impossible for the participants to select >1 option. Is there a way to do this? Or do you have any recommendations on how to ask these questions 2-in-1? ! Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am trying to create a Q-sort question in Qualtrics with around 50 items to sort in 9 or 11 different groups, from least important (-5) to most important (5). I have been struggling with two things: 1) Is there a way to change the size of the different box for the groups 2) Can I program a number of item that can go in each group (from let's say 2 for -5 and +5 to 9 for 0)? Right now I can only define the minimum (2) and maximum (9), but cannot indicate specific number for each box. I assume that, if possible, I would have to do that use JavaScript. Does anyone has good resources to learn quickly Javascript. I have no skill whatsoever with programming (except for R) and do not know where to start. Thank you!

I've read through every post on this topic but I still can't seem to get this to work. I want to capture an answer from a matrix dropdown list into embedded data. Then I want to show that response in a matrix text box in a later block. However, we're also giving the respondent the option to go back and change their answer. I've tried this without JS by setting the answer as embedded in the survey flow, then piping it in the other block. But when the respondent goes back to change their answer, the piped answer doesn't update in the other block. So I'm trying to use JS to capture the answer, but the answer is not capturing. I have this code in question JS: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('User_answer', currentResponse); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData('User_answer'); Then I added 'User_answer' as an embedded data element at the very top of my survey flow. What am I missing?

A major goal of our recruitment survey is to identify the exact age of respondents in days then branch them to a survey based on exact age (we have multiple surveys between birth and older than 4 years old). Currently we ask participants for their date of birth (MM/DD/YYYY) and would like to use JS to: Calculate age (in days), based on the current date Branch participants based on age (in days) to the correct survey. For example: based on date of birth, we would want to know the patient is between 1,050 days and 1,185 days old to be eligible to take our survey for 36 month olds, where we would then branch the respondent to that particular survey.

Hello! I have a question in which the respondent have to choose a product and then how much of it they would like to buy. I would like to add a feature in which in the moment they select the amount, they can see how much they would have to pay for it. Everything in the same page. I called the customer service but they told me that this feature requieres Java script, but I am not so good in it. Does anybody has previusly used a similar code that I could adapt to my survey? Thank you!

Hello, In a survey I build in a form like the below screenshot: ! On the field Zipcode I added a validation on Postalcode. If a wrong code is given, a message appears. But I also want to have a different background-color. How can I set this background-color to a bit of red? Thanks in advance.

What's the complete CSS code to widen statements on matrix questions?

Hello! Thanks for taking a look. I've tried valiantly to get some Javascript coding to work with Moment.js, but I'm struggling with my incompetency. This is what's going on: I'm receiving a unix timestamp in milliseconds, being passed through a query-string and recorded in a Qualtrics embedded variable. I'm trying to convert that timestamp into: YYYY-MM-DD, so that (hopefully), Qualtrics will read it and treat it as a date. To test it I've been sending in the UNIX: 1516985915307, which should convert to 2018-01-27. However, I get an Invalid Date, output in the embedded variable I'm trying to write the converted date to. <code>Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()</code> <code>{</code> <code>var UNIX= Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData('UNIX');</code> <code>var dateString = moment('UNIX').format("MM-DD-YYYY");</code> <code>Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('NEW_DATE', dateString);</code> <code>});</co

I'm looking for the following solutions: 1. Is there a way to add custom java to add the current (dynamic) date in a report header in Advance Reports? 2. Add piped text that is filtered by specific criteria. In this case, my survey collects feedback for various individuals in my organization. So this report has a section for each individual and their feedback. I'd like to include a response count in each section for that individual. Since we can't edit or remove column headers in tables, this option is not very attractive.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to include a question for people to indicate the 5 key words they use to describe themselves from a pool of words. Pick Grou and Rank satisifies the need for people to be able to see and drag/drop, but I don't want people have to think about which words best suits them and what follows, hence no need for the ranking... Is this possible? If so, how? Thank you!

Hello, I am trying to program in a question that has a calendar format using javascript code I found. I have never used javascript so I am not sure how to program it into Qualtrics. The code is below and I have tried to insert it into the Javascript option when creating a new question. However, it doesn't appear to do anything. Could anyone advise me on how to get it to work? I also have html code if that would be easier to program. I tried inserting that in the html option when you click on rich text but it didn't seem to work. Here is the link to the javascript and html code. https://codepen.io/Lewis65/pen/wGjKQg

Hi I'm trying to hide the back button on specific pages - I added the following code: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function () { $('PreviousButton').hide(); }); To the first question of the page I wanted to hide - but the button is still there..... Any ideas why? I added it to the first question, whihc is a descriptive text question. Thanks!

Hello, I am trying to build the Affect Misattribution Procedure (AMP) in Qualtrics and would like to get some help on working out what appear to be some technical issues. Briefly: the AMP utilizes the logic of projective tests and priming effects to measure people's automatic and unintentional attitudes by examining the unconscious influence of a prime stimulus (either visual or word) on an individual’s evaluation of a neutral target (Chinese pictographs). In essence, the procedure consists of the presentation of 4 stimuli for a set amount of time. In my case a prime word, a blank screen, a Chinese pictograph, and a black and white pattern mask will be presented for 100ms each, and participants are asked to rate the Chinese pictograph in terms of its visible pleasantness. The presentation of the set of 4 stimuli constitutes 1 trial. I have each stimulus uploaded as an image (PNG). I figured out how to set up these trials in Qualtrics using JavaScript. However, when I test run the p

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

Hi all, I'm trying to do maths calculations on click so that they appear in the matrix table as below using JavaScript. I also need to restrict the user to not be able to enter anything into the calculation fields. Has anyone done anything similar before and have any code as a starting point? ! Thanks, Rose

Hello everybody, I have the following concern: At the end of my survey, let's say Survey A, I would like to ask the participants to enter in a predefined area, (i) to enter the name of the project to which they referred in answering their questions, (ii) to generate one ID per participant; and (ii) to provide the email address of his/ her supervisor from this project. The supervisor should then automatically be sent a link to Survey B, where he will then automatically see at the beginning the (a) the specified project name and (b) the generated ID of his employee (previous participant) My goal is to compare the answers of the employee in survey A with those of his supervisor in survey B later in the analysis. Thank you in advance!

I need to create weights in-survey for rank-order in drag/drop ranking questions. Example, rate these car brands on safety: BMW, Volvo, Ford, Kia,BToyota The #1 ranked car gets a weight of 1, 2nd ranked a weight of .75, 3rd ranked a weight of .5, 4th a weight of .25, 5th a weight of 0. These weights will be stored in embedded variables like BMW_Safety_Weight, Volvo_Safety Weight, etc. How can I do this using javascript? Thanks! Extra credit: We have an embedded variable called BrandCount (between 2 and 10 brands) The above example is a 5 point scale, for 5 brands. If 4 brands were to be ranked, the weights would be 1, .67, .33, 0. Ideally we'd like to apply the weighting scale that corresponds to the BrandCount, but I can figure that out later. As always, your help is greatly appreciated!

! Hi, I would like to create a survey. Where in the end, a list of courses (Yellow rectangles content) will be sent to the user, according the answers to the survey (Y/N answers). How can i do it?

Hi, I would like participants in a study to allocate 100 points between two participants (A and B). Points are converted into cents at different rates. With help, I now have a javascript code that works when the constant sum question is of Choices type. To make the question more intuitive, I'd like to change it to Bars type. However, all the formatting I had with the JS code gets messed up. Can you give me advice on how to change my JS code for a constant sum question of Bars type? Here is my code now: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var inputs = $(this.getQuestionContainer()).select('input[type="text"]'); $(inputs[0]).insert({after: '<div id="input1" style="display: inline-block; width: 600px; \\ text-align: center, left; font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> \\   \\ <span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">\\ <strong><span style="color:#0000CD;"></span>

I have a survey serving both english and spanish, and one of the questions uses a Hot Spot image that maps anatomy of the foot with words embedded in the image describing the anatomical features. There is no built-in way that I'm aware of to have a different Hot Spot image for each language so I am using a javascript change event on the language selector to swap the images. Below is what my code looks like. You can find the URL to the graphics you upload by copying the image URL from the Graphics Library. Also make sure you add the code to the addOnload function because it will not work using the addOnReady function. I also just realized that the solution below will most likely not work using the Qualtrics offline application, but I do not need that for my purposes (however using the alternate method I mention above would probably solve that problem). Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { // get document objects var objLangSel = jQuery("select[id='Q_l

Hi, I would like to ask if someone of you has experience how to modify survey themes by customising CSS? What can I actually change? Your support is much appreciated. Cheers, Peter
