They might assume that you already have a basic knowledge of programming and how to integrate it into Qualtrics. If you do not, we recommend checking out W3Schools and our pages on Adding Custom CSS and Adding JavaScript to get a basic understanding! Thanks!

These columns actually have nothing to do with the survey. I simply want to email the contact list with these individual info in the message body. There is no survey link involved and the email is not tied to any survey.
> @TomG said: > @Jiayi - It could be any number of things. Without being able to look at it, I'd just be guessing. You should use console.log and/or a debugger to figure out what is going on. I used console.log to check on my code and found that "q" is "undefined", suggesting that "this.questionId" is not really working in the global header. I then tried putting the code in the block and adding a if statement to check if time left is < 0: var leftTime = Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData('TimeLeft'); if (leftTime < 0) { $(this.questionId).down('.InputText').value = "Timed Out"; console.log('Timed Out inserted'); jQuery('#NextButton').click(); } This works fine, but the clicking skips one question after the timed block. I force the question to show by adding a force response for that question. And this solves the problem. However, I'm still not sure if the skipping can be avoided without using the force response feature. Thanks for the help!
> @TomG said: > `select` always returns an array. Use `down` since you just need to find the first (and only) input element. Then set the value. However, since your click Next is inside a function this.questionId isn't going to work, so set a question variable in the addOnload function. > ``` > var q = $(this.questionId); > ``` > Then: > > ``` > q.down('.InputText').value = "Timed Out"; > ``` > P.S. If you are going to be writing a lot of JS, you should consider switching to jQuery since prototypejs's time is numbered. I added the two lines of code to the addOnload function but the timer simply disappears and I'm stuck with the last question page when time is up. Can this have to do with having the code globally in the Header?
> @TomG said: > @Jiayi - You can have your timeout JavaScript write a "special" value to the text input (e.g. "Timed out") just before clicking the Next button (assuming you are going to uncomment the click Next). That's a great idea! I added the following code right before clicking the Next button in the timeout JS, but it didn't work: var inputbox = $(this.questionId).select('.InputText'); $(inputbox).insert('Timed Out'); Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
> @TomG said: > What type of question is the last question in the block? It's a text entry question. See below (same as my other question): !
> @TomG said: > The biggest issue is that you are doing an addOnload. That happens when the page loads, so the respondent hasn't done anything yet, and the input is blank. You should be using addOnPageSubmit. BTW, the class name for a text input is InputText. Thanks a lot! It turns out that it is the issue with "addOnload" and I should be using "addOnPageSubmit".

It works when I try it. Post your code. Here's the JavaScript method I use (which unfortunately didn't work): First, create an embedded data field before the loop and merge block called "CorrectNum" and set it to 0. Next, in the JavaScript editor at the task page in the loop and merge block, add code to the Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){}) as below: !

Unfortunately this method didn't work for the loop and merge block when I tried, likely due to the fact that the embedded data field is set at the end of the block, i.e., after all rounds in the loop and merge block have been gone through.
