Unchecking excluded checkboxes

Unchecking excluded checkboxes was created by BBCMResearch
Hello,

I have several multiple choice questions in a survey that use the exclusive option for a "none of the above" answer.

If someone clicks other answer options before clicking "none of the above," these other selected answers become grayed-out, which normally would be fine. However, I need them to become "un-checked" as well.

Based on the solution tpartner gave here , it appears that I can insert a script to uncheck other boxes if the exclusive option is selected.

However, I don't know enough to code it. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out.

I use Version 2.50+160901

Thanks!

Assuming the exclusive item is last, add this to the question source of the multiple choice questions:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">    
  $(document).ready(function(){
 
    // Identify this question
    var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
 
    // Uncheck all excluded items
    $('div.question-item:last input.checkbox', thisQuestion).on('change', function(e) {
      if($(this).is(':checked')) {
        $('input.checkbox', thisQuestion).not($(this)).each(function(i) {
          $(this).prop('checked', false);
          $(this).nextAll('input:hidden:eq(0)').attr('value', '');
        });
      }
    });
  });
</script>
Cheers,

Excellent as always.

However, I do have one question where the last two items in the list are both exclusive. Could you adapt the script to work for both items?

Thanks!

Tony,

Thanks for your previous help with this. I now need to use this same script, but with an Other option enabled. However, the Other option is not the exclusive one. So you can enter text into the other field, and that remains visible after the exclusive option is checked.

Is it possible to reset the text field for the other option when the exclusive option is checked?

Thanks!

Hi Tony,

Yes, the exclusive item is last, and the other option is just before it.

Try this:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">    
 
  $(document).ready(function() {
 
    // Identify this question
    var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
 
    // Uncheck all excluded items
    $('div.question-item:last input.checkbox', thisQuestion).on('change', function(e) {
      if($(this).is(':checked')) {
        $('input.checkbox', thisQuestion).not($(this)).each(function(i) {
          $(this).prop('checked', false);
          $(this).nextAll('input:hidden:eq(0)').attr('value', '');
        });
        $('input[type="text"]', thisQuestion).val('');
      }
    });
 
  });
</script>

Hi Tony,

Just something about javascripting answer and EM, think it's better to use
$(this).prop('checked', false).trigger('change');
$('input[type="text"]', thisQuestion).val('').triiger('keyup')

Unsure it work on 2.5X, but i hope it work directly in 3.0 : see github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/de...em_javascript.js#L22

If it don't work : it's a bug

Yes, because it was inlined
Code:
<input type="radio" onclick="checkconditions($(this).val(), $(this).attr('name'), 'radio', 'click') />
And, sometimes this part was lost in HTML. Using a global event don't add an event to each input , and workaround can be more easy.

Hi Tony,

Your scripts have been extremely helpful! Could I ask what about unchecking excluded checkboxes for "Multiple Choice with Comments" question type, please? This script seems to work for "Multiple Choices" but not for the "Multiple Choices with Comments"

Warm regards,

Andre
