I tried adding some javascript to a script tag in an end of survey message, but it does not seem to work. Is this possible?

Hi. I am a relative newcomer regarding both HTML and JavaScript. In slider question, I have 3+ answers with 0-100%. How can I set a limit that summation of my responses does not go over 100%? ( for example: 30%, 40%, 20%, 10%).

I am implementing an experiment wherein I have configured embedded randomization (e.g., participants are allocated to condition 1 or 2). Within these conditions, they are then further allocated a particular order of blocks (1A & 1B; 2A & 2B). Within the blocks, there are a number of trials that are also randomized. Within these trials, participants must chose from one of two "gambles". At the end of the experiment, I would like to (1) randomly select one of the trials (doesn't actually need to be "random" since they are presented randomly) (2) check which of the two "gambles" they selected, (3) use a random number generator to decide the "outcome" of the gamble, and (4) present the participant with feedback about this outcome. I know how to do all of this in principle, and am pretty clear about how to use the random number to determine the outcome (#3). I'm not totally clear how to track the trials (since they're randomly presented), nor how to attach actionable information to the tria

Hello- Is there custom code to be able to left align the text boxes in a "form" question? I don't want to include any text before the box and cannot figure out how to remove the extra space so it aligns with the beginning of the question. It correctly displays as follows: !

Hello, I'd like to create a responsive graphic in my email or constrain the email's body to within the header graphic's vertical borders. Currently, the header graphic is centered in the email but the text flows across the entire page. I'd like to improve the aesthetics. Reference image attached. I tried to post the html, but it was too long. Thanks, Joe !

I am trying to get values from the user (via text entry, drill-down, multiple choice) and pass it as piped text in the JSON script to a URL by making a POST request. Upon clicking 'Test URL', it throws error and does not take the piped text as input. However, on passing actual values directly in the JSON, I get the correct results. I would like to know if there is any other way to do this.

Hi guys! I am trying to record a reaction time by using a combination of timing as well as having the participants click the screen or press the space bar to advance forward when detect something in a GIF. I'm not sure how to code for the page to advance as soon as the participant click the screen or presses the space bar. I know very little about Java Script, please help! Thank you

Is it possible to validate on the last character of a text entry field? The entry is only valid if the last character is a questionmark (?).

Hello, I am hoping to use the side-by-side question option, and wonder if there is any way in which we can adjust the size of the open-ended text box. Thank you!

Hi Everyone, When creating hidden questions, I used the rich content editor to include bullet points and highlights. However, as shown in the images below, this is not reflected in the preview. May I know how can I resolve this issue? Thank you for your assistance! ! !

Hi, I need my participants to press keys on the keyboard to answer the questions. I'm using multiple choice questions with keyboard responses (using javascript). Now I just need to hide the multiple choice buttons. Here's a screenshot of where I am: ! I'd like to hide those two buttons. The javascript code I used for keyboard response is: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { this.hideNextButton(); this.hidePreviousButton(); var that = this; Event.observe(document, 'keydown', function keydownCallback(e) { var choiceID = null; switch (e.keyCode) { case 80: // 'p' was pressed choiceID = 1; break; case 78: // 'n' was pressed choiceID = 2; break; } if (choiceID) { Event.stopObserving(d

I am trying to track if people have watched the video in my Qualtrics survey. I came out with this Java code but it doesn't seem to be working. Can someone help me please? Here is the code: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() { var playCounter = 0; function onFinished(){ playCounter++; Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("click1", playCounter); } $('videoPlayer').addEventListener('ended', onFinished); }); click1 is my embedded data video player is my video's ID

Hi Everyone, May I know how could I present all my survey questions (including the multiple choice options) on a single webpage? Thank you.

Hi Everyone, I have 2 related questions. Is it possible to: 1) show all the responses (including the options not selected) indicated by a survey participant on one webpage, after he/she has completed a 6 option multiple choice survey 2) tweak the responses shown (e.g. the person chose option 1 when doing the survey but the webpage shows that option 6 was chosen instead) Thank you for your guidance!

Has anyone tried using javascript with a timing type question? A timing question allows you to enter javascript code, however it just seems to never run. Is this something to do with the fact that with a timing question, nothing gets displayed to the user?

I have a survey where respondents drag and drop items to groups in a PGR question, and have set validation such that an exact number of items is allowed in each group. Of course, if a respondent places more or less groups than the exact number allowed in each one, they'll get an error message upon trying to go to the next page. However, we're interested in two things: a) showing respondents exactly how many items they've already included in each group as they're dragging and dropping, and b) if possible, showing an error message whenever more items are added to a group than allowed (i.e. in real-time, before the respondent even clicks on the "next" button). Right now, we're actually using the PGR question to have people categorize into groups, where the ranking within each group does not matter at all, and as such I made the "ranking" that shows up for an item when it's dragged into a group to be hidden. We could instead just leave the ranking information on the items whenever they're

Hi all, We are using the Qualtrics API to get survey info (via https://yourdatacenterid.qualtrics.com/API/v3/surveys/:surveyId) and use it to render the survey ourselves. One problem we are having is with multiple choice questions. We can see the choices available, but there doesn't seem to be anything that tells us what order they are to be displayed in. If we go and rearrange the order, it doesn't affect the order in which we receive them. Does anyone know if it is possible to get the order of the choices via the API?

Hi guys - I'm creating an 'intent to exit' intercept, and I know that this feature does not work on mobile devices. Does that mean that the intercept just won't show up on mobile devices or does it present itself differently? OR do I need to create an intercept for each device type (mobile and non-mobile)? Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I am completely new to Qualtrics and am trying to create a 12 item questionnaire with a 6-point scale. The challenge I am facing is this: After participants completed the questionnaire, I intend to present them with a report on what their "partner" (actually a programme) has indicated for each of the items on the same questionnaire. In the similarity condition, this report will show that the partner's responses are similar to the participant's. This report will show that all of the partner's responses are only 1 point away from what was indicated by the participant and are on the same side of the scale. For example, let 1 be "completely disagree" and 6 be "completely agree". If the participant chose a 5 on an item, then the subsequent report will show that the partner chose either a 4 or a 6 for the same item. In the dissimilar condition, the report will show that the partner's responses are dissimilar from that of the participant's. This report will show that all of th

Hi! Does anyone know some code so that respondents get the Qualtrics survey in full screen? Thanks in advance!

Has anybody ever had the issue where they use a web data connector to connect to Tableau but within Tableau all that shows up are the field names and not the actual data? This is the only survey of mine where this has occurred. The only thing I could possibly think of is if it is because I am using a reference survey, but even then, why would the fields still show up if that was the case?

Hello. Our Qualtrics application works alongside Salesforce and is currently linked to our Salesforce production environment. I am trying to associate it also with our QA and UAT Salesforce environments. I have found that if I link to QA (via Survey/Tools/Salesforce/Setup Link to Salesforce Account), then production stops sending out for all surveys. It seems that there can only be one association at a time. Anybody have any ideas if it's possible to be linked to more than one environment? Thanks

Hello, I have a multiple choice question where you can submit multiple answers. I want to count the number of answers selected in a previous question and save it in an embedded data field for later use. The first part of this is what I am having problems with. I have got to the point where I can save the text of the choices, but not yet any further: ${q://QID368/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices} This displays (when used as piped text in a later question) the text of the checked answers, but I just want to count them. Is there a documentation which contains all the possible branches/elements behind ChoiceGroup/... or even QID368/... etc. ? Also I don't quite know where to debug/fiddle with things in general. Currently I use the Firefox console, where I could view the JavaScript code of my question (due to an error I believe). But now I can't access that anymore. I am new Qualtrics and have little experience with JavaScript. Thanks for any help!

Thanks to @TomG, I've managed to get the handle on a slider in my survey to be hidden until the respondent clicks anywhere on the track of the slider itself, with the below: `var q = jQuery("#"+this.questionId); q.find(".handle").hide(); q.find(".track").on("click", function() { jQuery(this).find(".handle").show(); });` While this works great to ensure there is no visual "default" on a slider to anchor the respondent, once the track of the slider is clicked, the handle of the slider shows up on the very left of the slider, so the respondent has to click again to where they initially clicked on the slider (assuming that's where they wanted to place the handle) and then that sort of already becomes the default. So we'd like to go an extra step and have the handle of the slider show up wherever the respondent has first clicked on the track. The approach I've taken thus far has been to try different methods that get the position of the mouse on the page when the respondent click

Is there any action to separate the value (salesforce picklist value) and label(question label) ? Need Help, Thanks
