Select only three options in a single question more than once in one page
+1Hey guys!
I have this code that is to select three options in a multiple choice question, but I noticed that it applies to a WHOLE PAGE instead of just the specific question. What can I do to chaange this code so that it is only for a specific question?
this.questionclick = function(event,element){
var selectedchoice=this.getSelectedChoices();
if(selectedchoice.length==3){
jQuery("#"+ this.questionId +" input:checkbox:not(:checked)" ).attr("disabled", true);
}else{
jQuery("#"+ this.questionId +" input:checkbox:not(:checked)" ).attr("disabled", false);
var lastChecked;
var $checks = jQuery('input:checkbox').click(function(e) {
var numChecked = $checks.filter(':checked').length;
if (numChecked > 3) {
lastChecked.checked = false;
}
lastChecked = this;
});
}
}
Thanks!

instead of code select answer range like atleast 1 and no more than 3. Remove this code completely.
+1@akshay11 I have the validation, but I don't want them to be able to even select more than three options. I don't want them to be able to select 4/5 and then have an error show up

+1@bansalpeeyush29 thanks, but I don't want the options to be all clickable. I want the respondent to only be able to click on THREE but on multiple quesitons in the same page.
Hello @GabrielRibeiro ,
Paste the following code in the js(onLoad) of the question where you require that validation and replace Question id with your question id: for eg from #QID37 to #QID7 if your question id is QID7
var lastChecked;
var $checks = jQuery('#QID37 input:checkbox').click(function(e) {
var numChecked = $checks.filter(':checked').length;
if (numChecked > 3) {
lastChecked.checked = false;
}
lastChecked = this;
});
Note: I think You have merged two codes in the question, the above will work for you
Hello @GabrielRibeiro ,
And this code works fine if you paste it in the js(onLoad) of the required question:
this.questionclick = function(event,element){
var selectedchoice=this.getSelectedChoices();
if(selectedchoice.length==3){
jQuery("#"+ this.questionId +" input:checkbox:not(:checked)" ).attr("disabled", true);
}else{
jQuery("#"+ this.questionId +" input:checkbox:not(:checked)" ).attr("disabled", false);
}
}
+1@Shashi for some reason your code doesn't work to limit the selection in the question. I'm going to upload a dummy example here so you can see what I need! Thank you very much

Hello @GabrielRibeiro ,
Good if you upload the dummy example.
Hope you are using the above code to limit the user.
