Hello
I’d like to replicate adding the greyed out text into the nan-mandatory text entry questions? Can anyone help?
Adding background text to Text Entry question

Add a placeholder attribute to the text entry element:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").attr("placeholder","background text goes here");
});Note: jQuery selector would be different for Simple layout.

hi
AM I adding the above script into the JavaScript section? basically replace the circled part with your script? and which elements of the script I need to personalise? replace questionId with QID23_TEXT ? and anything else?

Yes, you’ll update the JavaScript section. Just replace everything that is there with the code I provided. The only customization needed is replacing "background text goes here" with the placeholder text you want in your text input field.

hi
it’s not working. I tried this:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+".InputText").attr("placeholder","background text goes here");
});
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed*/
});
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is unloaded*/
});
and tried this:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+".InputText").attr("placeholder","background text goes here");
});
I do not see any background text

Hi
Also another question. What would I have to do to change font colour. I am thinking lighter grey.
