Dear all,
I am design an experiment. My survey question is simple in nature, which is in text-entry type. I have created the html part for the description.
<style>
.bg_color{
background-color: #FCFC9C;
}
table.centered-table {
width: 648px;
margin: auto;
border-collapse: collapse;
text-align: center;
}
table.centered-table th, table.centered-table td {
text-align: center;
}
table.centered-table th {
border-bottom: 2px solid black;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 20px;
}
table.centered-table .border-white {
border-bottom: 2px solid white;
}
table.centered-table .border-light {
border-bottom: 2px solid #f1f1f1;
}
.gray-text { color: gray; }
.red-text { color: red; }
.blue-text { color: blue; }
.transparent-button {
background-color: transparent;
border: none;
padding: 20px;
cursor: pointer;
}
</style>
<table class="centered-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="red-text" style="width: 20%;">Set A</th>
<th class="border-white" style="width: 5%;"> </th>
<th class="blue-text" style="width: 30%;">Set B</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th class="red-text" style="width: 20%;">100 Boxes</th>
<th class="border-white" style="width: 5%;"> </th>
<th class="blue-text" style="width: 40%;">40 Boxes 60 Boxes</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td id="a1" class="red-text border-light">
<button class="transparent-button" style="color: red;">$25.00</button>
</td>
<td class="border-white"> </td>
<td id="b1" class="blue-text border-light">
<button class="transparent-button" style="color: blue;">$25.00 $0.00</button>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="a2" class="red-text border-light">
<button class="transparent-button" style="color: red;">$24.00</button>
</td>
<td class="border-white"> </td>
<td id="b2" class="blue-text border-light">
<button class="transparent-button" style="color: blue;">$25.00 $0.00</button>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="a3" class="red-text border-light">
<button class="transparent-button" style="color: red;">$23.00</button>
</td>
<td class="border-white"> </td>
<td id="b3" class="blue-text border-light">
<button class="transparent-button" style="color: blue;">$25.00 $0.00</button>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I have also finished my JS codes:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/
var OutputField = document.getElementById("QR~"+this.questionId);
OutputField.style.display = "none";
// Get all red and blue buttons
let red_btns = document.querySelectorAll(".red-text>button");
let blue_btns = document.querySelectorAll(".blue-text>button");
// Variables to track the highlighted range
var xend = 0, yend = 0;
// Add event listeners to left (red) buttons
red_btns.forEach((item, i) => {
// Assign a custom attribute for button identification
item.setAttribute("left_id", i + 1);
// Add click event listener for red buttons
item.addEventListener("click", function (evt) {
// Get the ID of the clicked button
xend = +evt.target.getAttribute("left_id");
// Update background highlights
refreshBgColor(xend, yend);
});
});
// Add event listeners to right (blue) buttons
blue_btns.forEach((item, j) => {
// Assign a custom attribute for button identification
item.setAttribute("right_id", j + 1);
// Add click event listener for blue buttons
item.addEventListener("click", function (evt) {
let clicked = +evt.target.getAttribute("right_id");
if (clicked < xend) {
if (!yend) {
yend = xend;
}
xend = clicked - 1;
} else {
yend = clicked;
}
// Update background highlights
refreshBgColor(xend, yend);
});
});
/**
* Refresh background color highlights
* @param {*} xend - Last highlighted left (red) button
* @param {*} yend - Last highlighted right (blue) button
*/
function refreshBgColor(xend, yend) {
let ystart = xend + 1;
// Highlight left (red) buttons
setBgRange("red", 1, xend);
// Highlight right (blue) buttons
if (yend) {
setBgRange("blue", ystart, yend);
}
}
/**
* Highlight background color for a range of buttons
* @param {string} type - Button type ("red" or "blue")
* @param {number} start - Starting index
* @param {number} end - Ending index
*/
function setBgRange(type, start, end) {
// Get all buttons of the specified type
let btns = document.querySelectorAll(`.${type}-text>button`);
// Clear all previous highlights
document.querySelectorAll(`.${type}-text`).forEach(e => e.classList.remove("bg_color"));
// Highlight buttons within the specified range
btns.forEach(item => {
// Get the button index based on its attribute
let index = (type === "red" ? item.getAttribute("left_id") : item.getAttribute("right_id"));
index = parseInt(index);
start = parseInt(start);
end = parseInt(end);
// Add highlight class if within range
if (index >= start && index <= end) {
item.parentElement.classList.add("bg_color");
}
});
}
//calculate OutputField value
OutputField.value = end;
});The purpose of my JS codes are mainly two folds:
- Highlighting the choice pattern.
- Record the switch point (from one side to another side), and store it as the output of this entry-text question.
Now, I can see my JS codes work (at least for the highlight function) when I preview this question. However, when I preview the block, which opens a page, the JS part does not work, including the highlighting part.
(I have tried to change addOnload to addOnReady, nothing changes.)
Your answer will be very appreciated. Thank you!
Best,
Elon
