Hi Experts,

In one of my Survey question i need to validate the participants should enter only 8 numbers. I have achieved using the below jquery code.
And now i also want to restrict special characters. Please help how to achieve this,
Below code used to restrict only 8 numbers.
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").each(function () { 
  jQuery(this).on("input", function() { this.value = this.value.substr(0,8); });

Thanks in Advance,

You weren't specific enough about what you want to exclude.


Hi Tom,

I want to exclude Characters and special characters. The participants have to enter only numbers of length 8. Please help.
I am new to Qualtrics with limited knowledge in coding.
Thanks in advance,

this.value = this.value.replace(/[^0-9]/g,'').substr(0,8);
