Hi!
I have a survey with 2 questions that the respondent needs to scroll to see the last choice (10). How can I reduce the width of the columns so respondents don't have to scroll?

Thanks!

    You could check "Position Text Above" or use CSS or JS to reduce the padding of the column headers.

    HI!

    Thanks for the suggestion!
    I was able to add javascript to the question and it is working:

    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
    {
    var cl = jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" td.ColumnLabels");
    cl.attr('colspan',cl.attr('colspan')-4);
    });



    Have a great weekend!
