Dear community,Qualtrics-newie here. Within my Qualtrics survey, I included a game for which I want to count the number of times the spacebar is pushed. For some reason , I never manage to get the actual number in the data output. Do you have any idea what I can do to make this work? This is the Java Code I use in the survey, as well as the survey flow: Code:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() { var spacebarCount = 0; // Funktion zum Zählen der Leertastenanschläge function keydownHandler(event) { var code = event.code || event.keyCode; if (code === 'Space' || code === 32 || event.key === ' ') { spacebarCount++; } } // Event-Listener hinzufügen document.addEventListener('keydown', keydownHandler); // Speichere die Leertastenanschläge beim Verlassen der Seite this.addOnPageSubmit(function() { Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("SpacebarClicks", spacebarCount); }); // Event-Listener entfernen beim Entladen der Seite this.addOnUnload(function() { document.removeEventListener('keydown', keydownHandler); });}); Survey Flow:

@merleHere’s the problem, my code work just fine, but Qualtrics JavaScript can only listen to what’s happening inside the survey. When respondent playing your game on scratch, they are interacting with an iframe that you embedded in, so no JS can track what’s going on in there. You have to find another solution sorry I can’t help you with this.

@merleThe JS template already have onPageUnload,this.addOnPageSubmit is kinda not a thing.Your code did count the key press correctly but not saving it after unload the page. Try this one insteadQualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var spacebarCount = 0; function keydownHandler(event) { var code = event.code || event.keyCode; if (code === 'Space' || code === 32 || event.key === ' ') { spacebarCount++; Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("SpacebarClicks", spacebarCount); } } document.addEventListener('keydown', keydownHandler); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function() { document.removeEventListener('keydown', keydownHandler); });});
