there are a few things i am trying to
1. remove the prefilled 0.
2. Retain the value of what the user entered, including if it is a 0.
3. do not submit a default value of 0 when the user has not interacted with the question.
I am able to remove the display of the prefilled 0 using this code:
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" li input[type=text]").val("");
When i try to code to retain the value entered it does not seem to be working. ex: you want to review your answers before finally submitting the survey, BUT when you come to review the question that contained a constant sum, your work was erased and have to re input your #s.
the code i tried to use to prevent this was:
var inputs = jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .SumInput input");
if(inputs.filter(function() {return this.value != "0";}).length == 0) {
inputs.val("");
but this did not help AND for questions that were left blank, they were filled with a 0.
my final coding looks a little something like this:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
var inputWidth = "55px";
var q = jQuery("#"+this.questionId);
q.find('.SumInput').css("width", inputWidth);
q.find('.SumTotal').css("width", inputWidth);
q.find('.InputText').css("width", inputWidth);
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" li input[type=text]").val("");
var inputs = jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .SumInput input");
if(inputs.filter(function() {return this.value != "0";}).length == 0) {
inputs.val("");
}
});
(i am mainly focused on the code after '1.find('.InputText').css("width", inputWidth);)
does anybody have any suggestions?

What are acceptable answers to the question?
I'm thinking that using a different question type could make this easier. For example, make it a text entry question with content validation > number.
That does not help me with this question since i would have to duplicate that too many times for this survey.
