How do I remove space between a question and answer choices?

Best answer by AlexB

You can add this CSS into the Look & Feel (adjusting the last number in padding for the amount of space you want): .Skin .QuestionText { padding: 0 0 0px; }

    @Barnaby are extraneous spaces showing up between them? Like, does it appear that there is a double-space between the question and the answers? If that is the case, I click on your question text and choose the Rich Text editor function and see if your cursor shows an extra space. I wouldn't recommend removing the single space that sits between the question and answers. You'll want it for question legibility/readability for your users.

    This is actually more of a theming question - I was hoping there was a way (perhaps with CSS or other custom code) to decrease the amount of space between where my question ends and the answers start to fit a little closer to some of the theming our company uses in other places.

    @Barnaby Did you ever figure this out for specific questions and not just the whole theme? I have the same issue. I know it requires identifying the specific QID, and I believe it is applied at the question level and not the theme level.

    You can remove the space between the bottom of the Question Text and the first choice like this: `jQuery("#"+this.questionId).find('.QuestionText:first').css("padding-bottom", "0px");`

    @Akdashboard - @TomG's solution above works to remove this space at the question level.

    https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/comment/1117#Comment_1117Thanks!

    How do I get this to work with the other script for removing the space between slider and choice options?

    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
    {
       jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" ul.labels").insertAfter("#"+this.questionId+" div.slider-container");
      jQuery("ul.labels").css('font-weight', '700');
    });

    https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/comment/30596#Comment_30596You can combine them in the same function:
    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
    {
    jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .QuestionText").css("padding-bottom", "0px");
      jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" ul.labels").insertAfter("#"+this.questionId+" div.slider-container");
      jQuery("ul.labels").css('font-weight', '700');
    });
