Need question to go automatically


Forum|alt.badge.img+1

I’m building a task on qualtrics where participants are shown images for a short amount of time and then asked 2 questions on a different page. I need the images to move automatically without having to click on any buttons. In addition, I need the arrow to disappear completely as it’s slightly distracting. I’ve tried the Look & Feel but it does not work for my purpose. Is there a way to hide this for certain questions but not for others?

@strugglingstudent,

Add a timing question to the page with the images. Set the ‘Display submit after’ seconds higher than the ‘Auto-advance after’ seconds.

I have done that but the arrow to move to the next question is still there. I tried creating a code that makes the blue box with the arrow white to blend in with the background but it won’t advance to the next question. Basically the way I want it set up is that there is a fixation cross for 250 ms then two image pairs for 1.6 seconds. After the image pairs disappear, participants have to answer 2 questions on the next page. The cross and images are one after another automatically with the arrow to advance to next question to not be there.

You can add a timer question and add settings like below. Delay the submit button seconds than the auto-advance seconds. That way, arrow would be hidden.

In that case,  you won’t be able to use a Timing question.  You can:

  • Add three text/graphic questions: Fixation cross and two images
  • Add a <style> tag with CSS to hide the Next button to the first question’s html
  • Add JS to the first question to: hide the other questions, then use setTimeout to hide/unhide questions and click the Next button on the prescribed timing

thanks to everyone for giving feedback! I was able to hide the button. The only way it worked for me was by making the button the same color as the background/white so the participant does not see it. It actually worked!
