Remove Margin left and right from single question | XM Community
Skip to main content

I have a question that is a text/graphic that is being created from an embedded link. I want this question to be able to extend to the edge of the screen. Below this there will be other open end and single select answers that I want to stay in the current location (not extending out). I found this code from another thread that works for the entire survey when entered in the CSS, but I don’t want it to do all questions.

.Skin .SkinInner {
width: 100% !important;
max-width: 100% !important;
}

I also tried putting javascript in with no success:

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{

	jQuery("#"+this.questionId).find('.SkinInner').css("max-width", "100% !important");

});

@gsheppard,

Use HTML View to add the CSS to the question text inside a <style> tag.

Thanks @TomG! I put that into the question and it kept the rest of the survey formatted the right way. The only issue is that I have other questions below the text/graphic question that I was hoping to keep formatted similar to the others. I don’t know if it’s possible because I know when I inspect the .SkinInner element it does show it extending down the page on both sides of the image question. I’m ok with the format now as is since it’s a better experience than what I had before. Any thoughts on if it’s possible to only adjust the one question’s margin?

Here is how I have the question right now:

${e://Field/BenchmarkLink}
<style type="text/css">.Skin .SkinInner {
width: 100% !important;
max-width: 100% !important;
}
</style>

 

Hi @gsheppard,

Simply insert your code into the 'Text/Graphic' question. Then, insert a 'Page Break' between this question and the subsequent ones. This setup should deliver the desired behavior.

Thanks @Sachin Nandikol. We were hoping to keep some of the following questions with the text/graphic question if possible.

You can’t because .SkinInner applies to the entire page.  If the text-graphic needs to be on the same page as the other questions, you might want to consider displaying it as a smaller version (i.e., the width of the theme) and displaying a larger version in a lightbox (i.e., click to view full size).

Thanks @TomG I was afraid that the .SkinInner was probably going to be applied to the entire page. I haven’t tried using a lightbox before (I didn’t even know this was an option). I see there are a few posts about how to do this on the community so I’ll check them out and may reach out again if I have questions. Appreciate it!

Happy to read all of the helpful comments on this post! Moving this post to the Custom Code category. Thank you, everyone! 

@TomG It looks like you helped someone in this post: 

I put this code into my survey header:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lightbox2/2.10.0/js/lightbox-plus-jquery.js"></script>
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lightbox2/2.10.0/css/lightbox.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

I tried putting this code into the question html:

<a data-lightbox="image-1" data-title="My caption" href="YOUR_IMAGE_LINK"><img src="YOUR_IMAGE_LINK" width="100" height="100"/>Image #1</a>

Because I’m using an embedded data field for the link it didn’t like that when I set it like this:

<a href="${e://Field/BenchmarkLink}" data-title="My caption" data-lightbox="image-1"><img width="100" src="${e://Field/BenchmarkLink}" height="100">Image #1</a>

What am I missing with my link?

 

I tested the lightbox with a hard-coded link in href and src and it is working. I just don’t know how to get the embedded link to work for it.
