We'd like to use Qualtrics to administer a Spelling test to our elementary students. Tech support suggested I reach out to people here to ask if anyone has a custom code I can use to block spell check in the browser for those students during that time? Thanks!

Excellent! Glad it is working for you. Please let me know if you run into any issues.

The attached export didn't work for me. It should just be a single QSF file that you post. I've still made an attempt to disable spell check for you, although I had to make some assumptions about how the survey would be built. Let's assume:1) You won't add any page breaks to your spelling test survey2) You prefer to add the "disable spellcheck" code to one place in your survey, instead of adding it to each question individually.3) Your survey questions are "Text Entry" questions (any Text Type is fine such as: Single Line, Multi Line, Essay Text Box, Form)Here is the javascript you'll want to add: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { /*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/ /* Disable spellcheck on all input HTML elements found on this page.*/ jQuery("input").attr("spellcheck","false"); /* Disable spellcheck on all textarea HTML elements found on this page.*/ jQuery("textarea").attr("spellcheck","false"); }); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() { /*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed*/ }); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function() { /*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is unloaded*/ });In my case I added the above javascript to the first question in my survey, which was a "Descriptive Text" question that contains instructions/intro text. To add the javascript, you click the gear icon of the question -> "Add Javascript". Then you paste in the above, replacing the default code already there.I've only done some basic testing, but so far it seems to work. Please test and try to break it. Let me know how it goes.
