Triggering "next" response based on slider action

Question

Hi all,

I am running a survey that involves rating different images. As there are many images I would like to minimise the responses given by each respondent, i.e. when a response is made, move to the next question without having to click “next”

Responses are made via a slider, and I have added the following code for the question:

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
   /*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/

   this.questionclick = function(event,element){

       if(element.type == 'Qualtrics.SliderBar') {

           this.clickNextButton();

       }

   }

});

While this works with radio buttons, it doesn’t work with sliders. I have tried “slider”, “JSlider” in place of “Qualtrics.SliderBar”.

Does anyone have and ideas on how to solve this?

Thank you

Hi @JRPhillips ,

I implemented the above request using below code:

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{



  let sliderBar = document.querySelector('.handle');
  sliderBar.addEventListener('click', function(event) {

    if (event.target.classList.contains('handle')) {
       document.getElementById("NextButton").click();
    }
  });

});

Hope this resolves your query😊!!

I’ve used the below before:var q = jQuery("#"+this.questionId);var clicked = "no";q.find(".track").on("mousedown , touchstart", function() {clicked = "yes"});q.find(".QuestionBody").on("mouseup , touchend", function() {if(clicked == "yes"){jQuery("#NextButton").click();}});
