Since the JavaScript code depends on the HTML structure and thus on the template, that is probably the reason this is not working.

Please post a link to an activated test survey so we can have a look. It may be easy to fix if it is just a typo or a different class name within the HTML structure but if the template structure is completely different, you may need some professional help to adjust everything (feel free to ping me at marcel.minke@limesurvey.org).

Hi thanks for your reply!

Here's a link to the activated test survey: Test Survey

I have moved the Array question to the beginning, ignore the rest of the survey. It seems that even the plus and minus buttons are no longer appearing now.

Thank you!

Did you activate the survey?

Sorry guys! Our server is internally accessible only. I've contacted the IT administrator to make it public, will let you know when its accessible.

Also, the plus and minus buttons mysteriously appeared. However they do not bring up new array text fields.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

The survey should now be public so you can check it out. (May take 10 mins as of this email)

Link here

Thanks!

Another more basic approach is the use of a multiple-opt (not mandatory) question with just one option "Add another product" with the related checkbox (check/uncheck)
Remember that you can style this question with CSS and/or javascript
Try-it, pasting the following code in the help area of the question....

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
            $( "<style type='text/css'>"
            + "#question{QID} { border:none; font-size:120%}"
            +"</style>").appendTo( "head" );
    });
</script>

Though there are no JavaScript errors the structure of your survey HTML seems to differ so the JavaScript can't access the needed elements.

Check the JS and compare the elements it deals with step by step. I assume due to different HTML elements the script doesn't trigger the correct elements.

Tpartners solutions are usually based on the default template I think, so any other template might not work directly out of the box and would need to be adapted.

I answer at the LimeSurvey forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.

Just tried to see if I could pick out any issues with the HTML vs the JS, but struggling. Javascript is not my best skill unfortunately!

DOwen, the linked survey is not accessible. Can you please attach a sample exported .lss file containing only your array question and the associated JavaScript and an exported zip of your template?

I am just returning from vacation so won't have a lot of free time for the next few days but I'll try to have a quick look.

Cheers,
Tony Partner

Hi tpartner, thanks for this!

I had just temporarily taken down the survey but its back up again now. The questions haven't been edited much, just want to make sure the functionality we need works first.

I appreciate you taking time to take a look, thanks!
