Hi,
There is function applied in this jQuery which is preventing "copy/paste" functionality. Just remove this below code and you will be able to copy paste.
jQuery("#"+that +" .InputText").on("cut copy paste",function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
Sorry to dig up such an old post, but could somebody help me with figuring out how to use this code? I've tried a variety of ways to paste this into the Javascript section of the question I wish to apply it to, but I continually receive the error "Invalid JavaScript! You cannot save until you fix all errors: Unexpected token )".
I don't work with Javascript much at all. Thanks for any advice.
Hi BrianGunther , for the version that does allow copy/paste, try replacing the entirety of the question's JavaScript with the below:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/
});
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed*/
var that=this.questionId;
jQuery("
Words remaining: 100
").insertAfter("#"+that +" .QuestionText");
var numOfWords = 0;
jQuery("#"+that +" .InputText").keypress(function(){
numOfWords =jQuery("#"+that +" .InputText").val().replace(/^l\\s,.;]+/, "").replace(/p\\s,.;]+$/, "").split(/s\\s,.;]+/).length;
jQuery("#count01").text("Words remaining: "+(100-parseInt(numOfWords)));
if( numOfWords > 100 ){
event.preventDefault();
}
});
});
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is unloaded*/
});
For the version that does not allow copy paste, use the below:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/
});
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed*/
var that=this.questionId;
jQuery("
Words remaining: 100
").insertAfter("#"+that +" .QuestionText");
var numOfWords = 0;
jQuery("#"+that +" .InputText").on("cut copy paste",function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
jQuery("#"+that +" .InputText").keypress(function(){
numOfWords =jQuery("#"+that +" .InputText").val().replace(/^p\\s,.;]+/, "").replace(/^\\s,.;]+$/, "").split(/(\\s,.;]+/).length;
jQuery("#count01").text("Words remaining: "+(100-parseInt(numOfWords)));
if( numOfWords > 100 ){
event.preventDefault();
}
});
});
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is unloaded*/
});
