Splitting screen into scrollable and non-scrollable part | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi all,

I am working on a survey and would like to know whether the following is possible and - if yes - how: I would like to show participants information that they can scroll through in one part of the screen (say 4/5 of screen from left) while having them answer a question on the other part of the screen (say 1/5 of screen from the right), which does not move when scrolling through the information. The purpose of the question on the non-scrolling part of the screen is that respondents rate the information provided on the left side. The reason to split the screen in this way is that respondents don't lose sight of the rating question when scrolling through the information.
Respondents answer the survey on a computer, meaning I don't mind how it would look like on a mobile phone, as I imagine this could get a bit messy.
Does anybody have a solution for this?
Thanks!

best regards,
Laurenz

Hi likeat100 -- I'm thinking there may be a way to code this in javascript -- this isn't my area but am very interested in what others may suggest! The only caveat I would give is that you may run into some accessibility issues (in other words, e-readers for people who have trouble viewing information onscreen may encounter difficulties) -- but if you're asking people to review a longer passage I could see it being useful. Maybe crosspost it to the education community group? I could see a use case around reading comprehension testing...
