I think the only solution is to use a Multiple choice with comments type question and hide some of the text inputs with JavaScript or CSS.

Tony,

I'm having this same problem can you link to any javascript that's been posted about this? I haven't come across it yet.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Quick javascript solution :
Code:
<script> $(function() { $("#answer{SGQ}SQ0001comment").hide(); }); </script>
If i don't make error in the id (use browser dev tool to know it, and remind the {SGQ} replace 12654X65X5656 part).

I think it may be better to completely remove the inputs in case someone is tabbing through the survey.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).ready(function() { $('#question'+{QID}+' .comment-container:eq(0) *').remove(); // First input $('#question'+{QID}+' .comment-container:eq(1) *').remove(); // Second input }); </script>

Tony,

Not sure what happened, but after a recent update, we noticed some of the script we had used on a survey stopped working, and for the life of me I cannot find what it was supposed to look like. It was some sort of combination of the above - hiding text inputs on a multiple choice with comments, and then one you gave here:
www.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-this-w...mized-answers#146118

Essentially, I have a multiple choice with comments type question with 6 subquestions. Subquestion 6 needs to be permamently pinned to the bottom of the screen, and only subquestions 5 & 6 need to have comment boxes.

However, subquestions 1-5 need to be randomized on each load, and all 6 subquestions need to be exclusive options.

Please help.

Can you please attach a small test survey containing only that question and your script?

I'm not sure how this ever worked. The problem is that you are removing the text inputs based on row position before moving the "fixed" rows to the end of the list. That means that text inputs could be removed from your "fixed" rows.

It would be safer to identify the rows to have the text inputs removed by their sub-question codes, remove them and then move the "fixed" rows.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).ready(function() { // Identify this question var qID = {QID}; // The sub-question codes to have no text input var sqCodes = [1, 2, 3, 4]; // Loop through those sq codes and remove their text inputs $(sqCodes).each(function(i, code) { $('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"][id$="X7441'+code+'comment"]').remove(); }); // The number of answers to be fixed at the end of the list var fixedAnswers = 2; // Find the number of answers var ansCount = $('#question'+qID+' .answer-item').length; // Place the last n answers created at the end of the list var fixedIndex = fixedAnswers - 1; for (var i=0; i<fixedAnswers; i++) { var answer = $('input[id^="answer"][id$="X'+qID+(ansCount-fixedIndex)+'"]'); var answerItem = $(answer).closest('.answer-item'); var answersList = $(answer).closest('.answers-list'); if($('#question'+qID).hasClass('multiple-opt')) { answerItem = $(answer).closest('.answer-item').parent(); answersList = $(answer).closest('.subquestion-list'); } if($('#question'+qID).hasClass('multiple-opt-comments')) { answersList = $(answer).closest('tbody'); } $(answersList).append(answerItem); fixedIndex--; } }); </script>

Thanks Tony,

I knew that was the problem but didn't know how to address it. I feel like we had it worked out previously, but when we logged in this week to check the survey, portions of html script had disappeared and the rest just showed up as regular question text. No idea why.

Also, for some reason, this code isn't working for me. The bottom two sq's remain fixed like they're supposed to while the others rotate around randomly, however all of them still have textboxes. This happens both when I paste the above code into my survey question, and also when I load the survey you attached.
Just ran your sample survey.

Oh, wait, I have a typo in my code - use this:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).ready(function() { // Identify this question var qID = {QID}; // The sub-question codes to have no text input var sqCodes = [1, 2, 3, 4]; // Loop through those sq codes and remove their text inputs $(sqCodes).each(function(i, code) { $('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"][id$="X'+qID+code+'comment"]').remove(); }); // The number of answers to be fixed at the end of the list var fixedAnswers = 2; // Find the number of answers var ansCount = $('#question'+qID+' .answer-item').length; // Place the last n answers created at the end of the list var fixedIndex = fixedAnswers - 1; for (var i=0; i<fixedAnswers; i++) { var answer = $('input[id^="answer"][id$="X'+qID+(ansCount-fixedIndex)+'"]'); var answerItem = $(answer).closest('.answer-item'); var answersList = $(answer).closest('.answers-list'); if($('#question'+qID).hasClass('multiple-opt')) { answerItem = $(answer).closest('.answer-item').parent(); answersList = $(answer).closest('.subquestion-list'); } if($('#question'+qID).hasClass('multiple-opt-comments')) { answersList = $(answer).closest('tbody'); } $(answersList).append(answerItem); fixedIndex--; } }); </script>
