How do I auto resize I-Frame height for different desktop monitor sizes?

Hello,I have created an IFrame into my Qualtrics questionnaire using the following code:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){jQuery("#Header").html('');this.getQuestionContainer().hide(); });Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){ $('NextButton').hide();setTimeout(function() { jQuery("#NextButton").show(); },5000);});Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function(){});I also added this bit in the Custom CSS Look and Feel section:.Skin .SkinInner {width:900px;}@media screen and (min-width: 600px) {} As of yet, the IFrame is showing perfectly in the questionnaire, as long as you have a monitor larger than 20". If, for instance, a participant is using a laptop with a monitor smaller than 20", a scrolling bar appears on the right-hand side of the Iframe, which I don't want... I'd rather have the scrolling bar on the right-hand side of the questionnaire itself (not the Iframe). What I have tried so far without success: Changing "height:50vh" to "height:100%" (doesn't work)With "

How to get multiple text entry with colour picker

Hi,I am trying to create a question where people can choose their 10 favourite colours using a colour picker. For that I think I need to use the form setting for text entry, but the colour picker code below only seems to work with single line entry. Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){jQuery("[id='QR~"+this.questionId+"']").attr({"type":"color","value":"#ff0000"}).css({"width":"15%","outline":"none"});});Edit for anyone else who has this question, I found the answer. It is adding the entry box number to the this.questionId+Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){jQuery("[id='QR~"+this.questionId+"~1']").attr({"type":"color","value":"#ff0000"}).css({"width":"6em","height":"6em","outline":"none"});});

Display skipped questions to user before submitting survey

Hello-We'd like to allow users to skip important questions temporarily, so they can review the rest of the survey and come back to the skipped question. We will use the request response option to allow them to continue , however would like to display those skipped questions (maybe the question text, or the whole question) to the user before they submit the survey as a reminder. Has anyone run across this issue and a solution before? Thank you

Using java script to rank results of formulas in a table (like literally the rank formula in excel)

Has anyone used custom java to create a rank formula (e.g., like in excel--- rank(cell, range))? 1) where do you paste custom script in qualtrics--- is it in the html tab on questions or somewhere else?2) what would the custom script be?I have 3 columns in a table with calculations of 2 rows (see below). The first row is a formula. The second row is where I would like the columns to be ranked (literally #1, #2, #3). Thanks so much!

How to enable autoplay and hide audio control

Hello there,I am trying to disable the play button (i.e. enable auto play) and also hide the play/pause button and scroll slider. This is so that the listener is forced to listen to the audio without any option to play, pause, stop or control the audio. Any suggestions on how I can do that?CheersP

Question on Tracking Pauses on Embedded Youtube Video

I've been trying to use a Javascript to track the plays and pauses of a Youtube video as shown below but have realized that this was for videos from the Qualtrics library.

Array not indexed at zero?

Hello all,I'm new to javascript and have been adapting Kurt Munz's method of carrying forward rank order questions:Updated: Rank-Order Carry Forward in Qualtrics with Javascript - Kurt MunzIt actually works fine. The rank order in question 1 is the item order in the constant sum question 2. The problem is that I then want to feed the constant sum data into a new array, sort the array based on the item descriptor, and then save those values as embedded variables. It is my way of putting the variables back into some kind of order for later data analysis. Otherwise the constant sum data is organized by the order the subject ranked things, rather than some constant order I can feed into a stat program. Two things aren't working:1.) it isn't sorting based on the descriptor.2.) For some reason the new array indexes at [4] rather than [0]. So '${q://QID5/ChoiceNumericEntryValue/1}' is recorded in choice[4][0] rather than choice [0][0] (and so on through the list). Any thoughts on this? The fo

Can I limit the number of items that respondents could distribute a 100 pts to in a constant sum Q?

Hello, In my survey I ask respondents to rate several items from 1 to 7. A follow up question has a display logic that only shows the items rated as 6 or 7. I ask the respondents to distribute a 100 points among those highly rated items in a constant sum question. BUT--> I want a way to limit their distribution of a 100 to up to 5 items, not more. Is there a way to make this possible?Thanks in advance for your help.Dalal

audio of previous trial briefly overlapping with next trial

Hi,I am running a study in which I am presenting participants with auditory words. In my task, they hear a word play, then there is a brief pause before a fixation cross appears, during which they say the word out loud (the audio is collected using a different platform, not qualtrics).I'm currently having an issue where when I go to the next trial, in addition to the new word, qualtrics appears to be playing the first few seconds of audio from the preceding trial. I have piloted this both using preview and publishing the study, and the issue persists regardless.Is this an issue with the autoplay function I currently have set up in javascript? The code is as follows: I have tried adding: preload="true" to the beginning of the code just after autostart, but it didn't help.I also tried adding blank blocks on either side of each trial to act as a buffer, also didn't work.I'm not sure if it helps, but I do have some additional code in the block which may be contributing to the issue.

Survey issue

We are getting reports from testers on the long survey (900+ Qs) - who are starting and completing partial ways - then resuming and losing all of the data that had originally been logged. Double-checked the settings - the survey is set up in such a way that if the participant left (intentionally or not) the survey before completing it - when he came back, he would have picked up where he left off.What could be the reason of the issue in this case and how to solve?Thanks

Sending emails to email address of contacts that aren't the actual contact..

Hi Qualtrics users!So I had a question, the contacts I hold in the directory include a wealth of embedded data. Some of that data includes the names/email addresses of the people in my company who are the customers contract manager.Is it possible to use Qualtrics to email those people rather than the customer contact by using their embedded data somehow ?I'll explain my thinking.I plan to invite 100 customers into our NPS survey process. Before i invite them, I want to give the contract managers a heads up Because all the useful embedded data is already attached to the contact, I was wondering if I could someone pull the customer info and send that to the contract managers so they have a heads up who is going to surveyedThe 100 customers then get their inviteI might be thinking to much into this but I can't see any way to do it so thought i'd ask the experts!CheersRicM

How to create a question within a matrix containing both numerical and categorical options per item

Hello all,I'm putting out a survey and one of the questionnaires has slightly complicated question items. Each item requires two responses: the first is a 0-10 rating (e.g how much or intense something was), and the second is categorical (i.e ticking a box). I'm not sure how to create multiple responses like this within a matrix in Qualtrics. Any ideas?Best wishes,Dom

How to use Field 2 in loop&merge setting to label experimental conditions?

Hi there, I am designing a repeated measures experiment with Qualtrics. The experimental stimuli created out of 4 conditions are evenly distributed to different blocks. The experimental stimuli with varying conditions in each block are set up using loop & merge function. The questions with different conditions for each block are piped into Field 1. I intend to label the condition for each sentence in Field 2 with the aim of making Qualtrics capture the response to each sentence plus the condition that each sentence is assigned to from participants. Without condition labeled, it wold be harder to process data collected. After testing the experiment, I got the response to each sentence but no condition to each sentence from the exported data sheet. How could I fix it if this setting is not working? should I resort to any Javascript coding to achieve this? I attach some screenshot for demo. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Email distributions

Hi everyone,Has anyone had the experience with someone receiving an individual link (using the email distribution function) NOT be able to restart their survey? I had a respondent start their survey and when they went back to it, they were not able to go to the next question they needed to answer without first answering the questions they had already answered earlier. I looked at the data, and their responses had not been recorded.My understanding is that a respondent does not need to hit the next button for it to record, for the system does it automatically in real time. Now, this being said, they were the only one out of 30 who had an issue. Any insight would be great! Thank you.

No labels in mobile friendly matrix version

Hello I am programming a suvey as a first-time user. I already found a lot of answers in this forum. However, there is one thing I can't figure out: I have various matrices in my survey and want them to be mobile friendly. The mobile friendly version of my matrices is quite fine (accordion). Still, I used 2 labels per matrix to describe the extreme points of my scales. The labels are not displayed in the mobile versions (only the numbers 1-5 without the lables). Is there anything I can do about that? Thanks in advance

Count number of times respondent leaves survey window/tab

Hi everyone,In my survey, I'm trying to include a counter that tracks the number of time that the respondent leaves the survey window/tab during the course of the whole survey--in other words, the number of times that the survey window/tab is either hidden or blurred because they have clicked on another window/tab.

I am not very familiar with how to do these things to the point where it's not even necessarily clear to me what code needs to go in the HTML part of the question or what needs to be entered as JavaScript.
