Getting a Rank Order question to only allow respondent to rank only 3 of the 6

To override this problem,change the rank order type to "Text Box" or "Select Box". This will help in undoing the selectin.

+13Thank you, but the respondent is still able to select 4-6. We want them to rank their top three only, in the order of importance to them.
+34Is you question this way:
+13Yes, the problem we are having is that if a person selects 4 or more, it is difficult to remove the extra selections.

Hi,
What you probably want, is the survey to show only 3 columns ... so it's not even possible to select a fourth. I had the following JavaScript and that seemed to work fine, except when I used a large number of items (20+) en a large number of questions with this setup (but different items, obviously).
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/
for(var i = 3; i < 100; i++){
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" tr.Answers th:eq("+i+")").hide();
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .ChoiceStructure tbody tr").find('td:eq('+i+')').hide();
}
So I'm not sure if it works without problems, but will probably help you on your way. Without custom coding, it's not possible to get a proper 'select your top 3' question type.
