Options for ability to zoom in on a large detailed image? | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hello,
For my survey, I am giving survey-takers a set amount of time to view an image. The image is a large poster which I would like viewers to be able to zoom in on. I have searched extensively on Qualtrics community to find a solution to this, but unfortunately with my inability to code using JavaScript/HTML/CSS, I cannot find a solution that I am able to make work.
Based on my searches, I have two options, both of which have a major issue:
Option 1: Use the code provided by w.patrick.gale in the following link: https://jsfiddle.net/Taqi_Shah/0zshgg1a/ which allows for a very cool mouseover/hover option. <-- ideal option
Problem: I cannot figure out how to apply the code to my survey. I have learned that I need both a small and large image, and I have tried pasting the code into the JavaScript editor of my image. However, I do not know how the HTML applies - do I need to use descriptive text to be able to code in both images??
Solution: If someone is willing and able, I would need assistance to be walked through this. Again, I do not know how to code on this platform - the only coding experience I have is for stats in R, which as you may know is unrelated to web design/functions.

Option 2: Insert the image through rich text editor as a file, which will open in a new tab to allow for zoom.
Problem: The image is no longer timed.
Solution: If someone knows of a way to force the image opened in the new tab to close over the timer is out, instructions or a walkthrough on how to do that.

Finally, my last problem is that I need to figure this out as soon as possible. I am developing this survey for my masters project, and my deadline to finish the survey is about now. This is my last issue with the survey! If anyone knows the solution to this problem, it would be incredibly appreciated - thank you!!

Hi there, hope your Masters project went well! For Option 1, I was able to adapt similar code from a codepen by Ivan Markovic and get it to work within Qualtrics.
MouseHoverZoom.pngTo give it a try, first create a question in the survey Builder. Using the Rich Content Editor's HTML/Source view "<>", update the Question Text with the below:
Zoom in on the coffee below:











Next, add the below to the question's JavaScript in the OnReady section:
const inner = document.getElementById("inner");
const left = document.querySelector(".left");
left.addEventListener("mousemove", handleMousemove, false);
function handleMousemove(event) {
 let { width, height } = this.getBoundingClientRect();
 let xAxis = Math.round(event.offsetX / width * 100);
 let yAxis = Math.round(event.offsetY / height * 100);
 jQuery(inner).css({"transform":"translate(-"+xAxis+"%,-"+yAxis+"%)"});
}
Finally, add the below CSS to the Style section of the survey's Look & Feel:
* {
 box-sizing: border-box;
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
}

.wrapper {
 display: flex;
 height: 100vh;
 width: 600px;
 height: 400px;
 margin: 10px auto;
}

.left,
.right {
 flex: 1 1 auto;
 border: 1px solid dimgray;
 max-width: 50%;
}

.left {
 display: flex;
 justify-content: center;
 align-items: center;
}

.left > img {
 width: 100%;
 height: auto;
 pointer-events: none;
}

.right {
 position: relative;
 overflow: hidden;
}

.inner {
 position: absolute;
 width: 400%;
 height: 400%;
 left: 50%;
 top: 50%;
 transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
 display: flex;
 justify-content: center;
 align-items: center;
}
.inner > img {
 width: 100%;
 height: auto;
}
Also, though you'd have to add some pieces to get it to work with a Timer, Lightbox is a useful library for enlarging pictures. There is an example here.

Hi @Tom_1842 , 
I tried your solution and followed each step of it. However when I preview the survey the image zoom doesn’t seem to work. Is your solution still up to date?

 

 

 

 

Hi @romeoT , that post was unfortunately affected by the Community Platform migration so the HTML piece is not displaying correctly. I’ve updated it below.

To give it a try, first create a question in the survey Builder. Using the Rich Content Editor's HTML/Source view "<>", update the Question Text with the below:

Zoom in on the coffee below:
<br>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="left">
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ivanmmarkovic/misc/master/images/large/beverage-caffeine-cappuccino-1660916.jpg">
</div>
<div class="right">
<div id="inner" class="inner">
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ivanmmarkovic/misc/master/images/large/beverage-caffeine-cappuccino-1660916.jpg">
</div>
</div>
</div>

Next, add the below to the question's JavaScript in the OnReady section:

const inner = document.getElementById("inner");
const left = document.querySelector(".left");
left.addEventListener("mousemove", handleMousemove, false);
function handleMousemove(event) {
 let { width, height } = this.getBoundingClientRect();
 let xAxis = Math.round(event.offsetX / width * 100);
 let yAxis = Math.round(event.offsetY / height * 100);
 jQuery(inner).css({"transform":"translate(-"+xAxis+"%,-"+yAxis+"%)"});
}

Finally, add the below CSS to the Style section of the survey's Look & Feel:

* {
 box-sizing: border-box;
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
}

.wrapper {
 display: flex;
 height: 100vh;
 width: 600px;
 height: 400px;
 margin: 10px auto;
}

.left,
.right {
 flex: 1 1 auto;
 border: 1px solid dimgray;
 max-width: 50%;
}

.left {
 display: flex;
 justify-content: center;
 align-items: center;
}

.left > img {
 width: 100%;
 height: auto;
 pointer-events: none;
}

.right {
 position: relative;
 overflow: hidden;
}

.inner {
 position: absolute;
 width: 400%;
 height: 400%;
 left: 50%;
 top: 50%;
 transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
 display: flex;
 justify-content: center;
 align-items: center;
}
.inner > img {
 width: 100%;
 height: auto;
}

Also, though you'd have to add some pieces to get it to work with a Timer, Lightbox is a useful library for enlarging pictures. There is an example here.

Thank you @Tom_1842 it works perfectly!

This does not work with the Simple Layout. Change the layout in Look and Feel to anything other than Simple if you want to use this.
