Hi Qualtrics community, This is my first time diving into JS. I am building a survey where each question includes three separate terms describing a person (race, gender, and sexuality). Each term is randomly generated from a list of pre-entered values (race has four options, gender four, and sexuality two). The sentence at the beginning of each question reads: “Person is [race] [gender[ who identifies as [sexuality].” Based off of several other posts in this forum, I built the following JS and it is working great. However, I have three additional questions:The way this is currently written, will the options for each of the three terms be presented evenly when randomized? If no, how to correct so that they are? Is there a way to write this so that for the third term (sexuality), “gay” will be used when the second term (gender) includes “boy”, and “lesbian” will be used when the second term (gender) includes “girl”? Right now it is written as “gay/lesbian” and is generated as its own random term, independent of the second term. Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed*//*var order = "${e://Field/random1}"Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('random1', order);document.getElementById("random1").innerHTML = order;*/var words = ["an African American", "an Asian American", "a Latinx", "a Caucasian"]; //Your wordsvar i = Math.floor(Math.random() * words.length); //randomly select an indexvar my_word = words[i]; //select a wordQualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData( 'words', my_word); //Send the word to the Qualtrics output, otherwise you would not know which participant get which word//Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData('words')document.getElementById("random1").innerHTML = my_word; //show the word to respondents var words1 = ["cisgender girl", "transgender girl", "cisgender boy", "transgender boy"]; //Your wordsvar i = Math.floor(Math.random() * words1.length); //randomly select an indexvar my_word1 = words1[i]; //select a wordQualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData( 'words1', my_word1); //Send the word to the Qualtrics output, otherwise you would not know which participant get which worddocument.getElementById("random2").innerHTML = my_word1; //show the word to respondents var words2 = ["heterosexual", "gay/lesbian"]; //Your wordsvar i = Math.floor(Math.random() * words2.length); //randomly select an indexvar my_word2 = words2[i]; //select a wordQualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData( 'words2', my_word2); //Send the word to the Qualtrics output, otherwise you would not know which participant get which worddocument.getElementById("random3").innerHTML = my_word2; //show the word to respondents}); I am also wondering how to make this sentence appear to participants as a single line, rather than with breaks after each generated term. Right now it looks like this when I preview the survey:Person is..who identifies as. This is the HTML element I am using: Person is <div id="random1">.</div> <div id="random2">.</div> who identifies as <div id="random3">.</div>. Any suggestions how to remove the line breaks? I tried to no avail. Thanks for any thoughts.

Your randomized wordswill not be presented evenly, and there is no way to present them evenly using JavaScript. You should use survey flow randomizers to evenly set embedded data fields, then pipe the embedded fields into your question. For example:Randomizer 1 of 4 Evenly Present Set Embedded Data: random1 = an African American Set Embedded Data: random1 = an Asian American Set Embedded Data: random1 = a Latinx Set Embedded Data: random1 = a CaucasianAfter you set your random2 and random3 embedded data fields the same way, you can use survey flow branches to reset random3 based on the values of random2 and random3.You won’t need HTML in your question, just pipe the values:Person is ${e://Field/random1} ${e://Field/random2} who identifies as ${e://Field/random3}.
