Hi, I am new to qualtrics and was just curious if there is a feature where I can have the participant write out their answer to a question (1 question per block) and then after the enter their response in the text box, a pre-typed answer is shown to them before they move on to the next survey block. Then it would be for every question, they finish typing their answer and submit it, then they get the correct response shown to them and move on to the next etc.

Hi Alexp,

If you want the response to be shown on the same page, the only option is to use javascript code.

What would the code be? Im assuming it would have to be a combination of javascript within the question using the gear AND either the custom css or html? Can someone guide me on which codes may work and where to put them?

You could add a page break and use default choices (click on the wheel) to pre-populate the box in the next question. Something like:

alexp it sounds like you can simplify this even more. Instead of making a question with default choice, use the descriptive text question type after the page break to show the correct answer.
