Hiding a question from participants

Hi @tru_gamble, You can achieve this using JavaScript to hide the elements you want to be invisible.

Use JavaScript to hide the question and answer options. You can do this by targeting the HTML elements corresponding to the question and answer options and setting their display property to "none".

Implement a key event listener in JavaScript to capture when participants press the Q or P keys. When the keys are pressed, you can trigger the corresponding action (e.g., recording a Yes or No response).

Since participants won't see the question and answer options, you should provide clear instructions at the beginning of the survey informing them to use the Q key for Yes answers and the P key for No answers.

Here's a simplified example of how you can achieve this using JavaScript:

Copy code
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {
    // Hide question and answer options
    document.getElementById('QuestionID').style.display = 'none';
    // Replace 'QuestionID' with the actual ID of your question
    
    // Add key event listener
    document.addEventListener('keypress', function(event) {
        if (event.key === 'q' || event.key === 'Q') {
            // Participant pressed Q key
            // Add code to record Yes response
        } else if (event.key === 'p' || event.key === 'P') {
            // Participant pressed P key
            // Add code to record No response
        }
    });
});

Replace 'QuestionID' with the actual ID of your question element. Additionally, add code within the key event listener to record the participant's responses accordingly.

Good suggestion @Umang Upadhyay, it should work.

@tru_gamble, the Question ID serves as a system-generated identifier to differentiate between questions. To view your question ID:

1. Click on 'Tools'.
2. Select 'Auto number questions'.
3. Choose 'QID'.
4. Your question ID will be displayed instead of the question number at the top left of the question box, appearing as QID1, QID2, and so forth.
