Hi Unfortunately, I'm not an expert either. Here's a few things that come to mind, which you can try: - ensure that the question type is set to text entry and the text type is set to form - make sure you have 17+ text entry fields (I had 100) - paste it in the right place (within curly brackets after "addOnload(function()"); leave the rest of the script unchanged - the code i pasted as a comment somehow was split in two; use both parts Best of luck
sure. You can find the code below. it is for the addOnload section. the way it works is that I created 100 text entry fields. with the code below, 15 are initially visible, the rest is hidden. whenever you click or tab in to the last field visible, an additional field appears. hope this helps, best of luck. { jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").focus( function() { var isInputText = document.activeElement instanceof HTMLInputElement && document.activeElement.type == 'text'; console.log(isInputText); if (isInputText) { tbody2 = document.activeElement.parentNode.parentNode.nextSibling.nextSibling.show()//style.display = 'inline-block'; } }); var initialFields = 15; var choices = this.getChoiceContainer(); //choices.hide(); //alert(choices); var tbody = choices.getElementsByTagName('tbody'); //alert(tbody[0].childNodes.length); childs = tbody[0].childNodes; for (i=(initialFields*2); i <childs.length; i++) { if (childs[i].style
Hi @riceball. I was lucky enough to have a friend write the javascript for me because there really does not seem to be another solution. I'm happy to share the code but I'm not sure if that is what you are after?
thanks
Thank you both so much. Both worked perfectly!
@TomG Thanks, at least that stops the search for a solution that doesn't exist!
@TomG excellent thanks!
Is there a similar easy fix if I have turned question separators on in look and feel but want to hide it between two specific questions?
@uhrxx005 Your problem probably is more complicated but I am going to suggest this easy fix because I first overlooked it: Do you have multiple statements? (If there is only one statement, the code can't hide and consequently cannot unhide additional items.) Also, I noticed that things get messed up if there are multiple questions that use this code within one block (or page?).
@Shashi Brilliant, thank you so much!!
@Shashi Thanks for your quick reply. Is it possible matrix questions?
@Shashi Is this code easily adaptable for text entry forms? or if that isnt possible for matrix questions?
Thanks! This isn't included in Qualtrics JS Question API though, right? How can I make use of the focus function, do I need an event listener first?
I can't seem to be able to access the html view in the answer choices? I can only find the option in the question field?
Thank you!
Thanks for your answer. Sorry if I was unclear about how I want it the second question to look. I want another Text entry - Form item (as a way of enabling respondents to list all answers they can think of). It is supposed to be the same question type for the first (e.g. "Best cities in the Europe") and second item (e.g., "Best cities in the World") with the responses from the text entry fields of the first item as default choices in the text entry boxes (not the form fields!) of the second question. But of course only for the text entry fields where the respondent actually wrote something in the first question and not the empty ones. When I carry forward the responses from the first question through "Entered Choices - Entered Text" they appear in the form field but I want them in the Text Entry Fields as modifiable default choices. The "Form Fields" ideally would be empty, right now there is the numerical order in it. Perhaps the Text Entry - Form item is not ideal for this kind
@TomG brilliant thank you so much! I have a related follow-up question: In the second item, it shows all text entry fields from the first item just like it wanted it to. However, it also shows the answer choices (form fields) that were left empty in the first item (respondents are not required to fill all lines; only as many as they can think of or wanted to list.) I added display logic for answer choices ("Display this Choice only if the following condition is met": Form field was "Not Empty" in first item). However, this was quite cumbersome as there are many lines. Is there a simpler way? Again, thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
@TomG Thanks!
@TomG once again, thanks for your quick answer. I have no experience with writing in javascript. Do you think it is possible to learn JS within a reasonable amount of time to be able to write such a "feature" that would dynamically unhide form fields? If yes, can you recommend where/what I should start with?
Hi again I realised there is the option of implementing a display logic on choice level. I used a text entry question and set the number of Form Fields to 30. The first three form fields are unconditional and should show up no matter what. Within this question XY, e.g. for the fourth choice/text entry field I have the display logic: "Display this Choice only if the following condition is met: 'Question' 'Q XY' 'Choice 2' 'Is Not Empty'. When I preview the survey and put some characters in Choice 2, I don't get an additional form field. Is there an obvious mistake in my logic? Thanks in advance
Ok, thanks!
@TomG Thank you for taking the time. Your answer sounds promising. I don't want to limit the answer choices so I would have to go for an unrealistic high number of options. My problem, however, is that I have never written a javascript. Is there any other way of doing this? Is there no function that would automatically add additional entry fields if a respondent uses all the fields available. I feel like I've come across this many times in filling out surveys?!
@Shashi thanks for your answer. I tried loop and merge (solution 1) and perhaps I didn't understand it properly but it seemed that all versions always referred to a previous answer. I actually need additional text entry fields within the same question if a respondent uses all text entry fields I provide. I have the same problem with solution 2; they would need to indicate first how many they plan to list. But I want them to rather go ahead intuitively, until they can't come up with any more.. Nonetheless, thanks for your answer.
