Does anyone have custom javascript code that will create a pop-up warning when participants try to switch tabs or windows? THANKS!

Hi @ks13This is a code I did earlier for my client test, hope t can help you. The code will pop-up an alert when user switch tab and comeback. I flag the result with embedded data as warning in the 1st time and compromised in 2nd time. You can change the message as you like.Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var tabSwitched = false; window.addEventListener('blur', function() { if (!tabSwitched) { alert("!!! Please do not switch tabs during the test. Switching tabs again will flag your result as compromised !!!"); tabSwitched = true; Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('compromised', 'Warning'); } else { alert("!!! Your result is compromised !!!");Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('compromised', 'Yes'); } });});Hope it help

@ks13Just change the flag tabSwitched to a variable that count, save that number in embeddedData and get it again when the page load.Captcha is from google and consider an outside window. The solution is to stop the eventListener when page unload, and add the code to a question on each page, except the captcha one.Here’s the modified version that do bothQualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function () { let tabSwitchCount = parseInt(Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData('tabSwitchCount')) || 0; const blurHandler = function () { tabSwitchCount++; Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('tabSwitchCount', tabSwitchCount); if (tabSwitchCount === 1) { alert("!!! Please do not switch tabs during the test. Switching tabs again will flag your result as compromised !!!"); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('compromised', 'Warning'); } else { alert("!!! Your result is compromised !!!"); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('compromised', 'Yes'); } }; window.addEventListener('blur', blurHandler); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function () { window.removeEventListener('blur', blurHandler); });});
